I'm running into a bug in Ion that koush (the lead dev) thinks may be related to CloudFlare's use of SNI. The bug was reported here: https://github.com/koush/ion/issues/559
I'm looking for a workaround that can deal with CloudFlare Free SSL (Android's HttpClient also fails; though I'm not sure if it is for the same reason).
Ideally, I'd like to just use a workaround working with Ion, but if you know of another library or method to send and receive data over a CloudFlare Free SSL connection I'll gladly use it instead!
So, do you know of any workarounds to this bug?
You can disable the middleware that causes the problem by putting the
following in your Application.onCreate method.
Ion.getDefault(getContext()).getConscryptMiddleware().enable(false);The bug is only in Google Play Services conscrypt. Remove that line at a later time once GPS updates.
The downside of disabling conscrypt is that it also disables SPDY support on older platforms and that it is also a newer, more secure, updated SSL stack.
