Fwd: RE: SSL validation failures

Ah, 7.7.1 has a nasty habit of not supporting wildcard certificates and
no way of passing a validation block to achieve it, something that is
addressed in 7.8, so try the below in 7.7.1 instead,

Parcel loadParcelByName: 'HTTPS'.
bundle := CertificateFileReader new readFrom: 'trusted-certs.crt'
asFilename contentsOfEntireFile readStream.
X509Registry trustedCertificates addAll: bundle.

Net.SSLConnection compile: 'validationBlock
	^validationBlock isNil
		ifTrue: [[:dnd | (dnd at: ''CN'') match: hostName]]
		ifFalse: [validationBlock]'.

HttpClient get: 'https://api.dropbox.com'.

Thanks, that makes me feel better.  I don't see any implementers of
defaultValidationBlockFactory.  I tried a fresh 7.7.1 image and your
code block failed with the same walkback.  Maybe this was something
fixed in VW7.8?
