Research direction

Start by reviewing the behavior change and test updates in pull request #9515, then inspect the four named call sites: SSLSession.handshake(), RealConnection.isEligible, RetryAndFollowUpInterceptor.isRecoverable(), and retryTlsHandshake(). Check how Android 37 represents SSLPeerUnverifiedException at each point and whether existing tests cover it. Done means the affected behavior is verified and any necessary tests are updated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We changed some tests in https://github.com/square/okhttp/pull/9515 in reaction to SSLPeerUnverifiedException being a cause and not the thrown exception.

This behavior change could impact other parts of OkHttp:

  • SSLSession.handshake() catches SSLPeerUnverifiedException
  • RealConnection.isEligible catches SSLPeerUnverifiedException
  • RetryAndFollowUpInterceptor.isRecoverable() returns false on SSLPeerUnverifiedException
  • retryTlsHandshake() returns false on SSLPeerUnverifiedException
