JEP Review Request: TLS Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation Extension

[Bradford Wetmore]

The draft JEP “TLS Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation Extension” is 
now available for community review:

    https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8051498

This JEP is to add support for the Application Layer Protocol 
Negotiation (ALPN) TLS Hello extension [1] in JSSE. ALPN provides a 
mechanism for declaring the application protocols that are supported 
over a TLS connection.

We need this functionality to make JDK 9, so this JEP needs to get into 
the JEP pipeline soon.  Community review is a precursor in the process 
before it can move to "Submitted."

For now, there is a simple API proposed (similar to JDK 8 SNI), but I'm 
parsing the discussions that took place on security-dev in August[2], 
September[3], and November 2014[4], and the current API is likely not 
flexible enough.

Thanks,

Brad
