 Priority:  minor                                     |   Milestone:  2.2.1   
Component:  pidgin (gtk)                              |     Version:  2.1.1   
 Keywords:  ssl tls invalid common name subject name  |     Pending:  0       
------------------------------------------------------+---------------------
 The certificate presented by jabber.org (attached) fails libpurple's
 hostname checking, at least under GnuTLS.

 Some reading of relevant RFCs suggests that we should be checking for a
 match against an "alternative name" extension as well as the Subject Name.
