<p>Also, even if I pass verify_peer, nothing checks if the host name in the certificate matches the host that I am connecting to. So a server can present any validly signed certificate for a different site.<br>

<p>The same happens if I pass validate_peer and the rootCA file as ssl_options.<br>

<p>curl correctly rejects the server:<br>

<p>This is using Erlang 17.0. Is it possible that the ssl default changed?<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Or am I doing something wrong?<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The server I'm testing against is in this repo: <a href="https://github.com/talko/httpcbench." target="_blank">https://github.com/talko/httpcbench.</a> It's a work in progress, but if you pull, make and run_server you should see the same issue. <br>
