RE: [ietf-provreg] AD Review Comments: draft-hollenbeck-rfc4934bis-00

["Hollenbeck, Scott" <[e-mail]>]

According to this reference:
 
http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERe
fGuide.html
 
it should, but I can't confirm that it does.  I'm reasonably certain
that this is behavior that's typically buried in a toolkit instead of
being implemented by an EPP developer, so perhaps that new text should
be removed from the document.

	Scott,
	
	We're implementing SSL using JSSE in our Java EPP SDK, but I'm
not sure if JSSE sends a TLS_close_notify alert before the connection is
closed.

	Some feedback from Alexey on the new TLS Usage Profile text in
4934bis.
	I now need implementer feedback.

	What are you implementers doing?

	Comments, please.  I've sent a note to Alexey pushing back on
this
	because (in my opinion) this puts mandates on client and server
	certificate validation behavior that don't affect EPP
interoperability.
	If I'm wrong, I'd prefer to cite an existing mature reference
instead of
	cloning text from an unapproved I-D.  Does anybody know of one?
