[issue23239] SSL match_hostname does not accept IP Address

[Alex Gaynor]

Alex Gaynor <agaynor at mozilla.com> added the comment:

I'd be in favor of backporting this to the 2.x - encouraging reliance on the nonsense behaviour of putting IPAddresses in DNS Names or relying on CN over SAN is bad, and we shouldn't encourage it.
