"hostname in certificate didn't match" caused by using httpclient 4.1.2

[George Lawrence]

Hi everyone,

I tried to get a simple hello-world style Java (not Android, just plain old java) app up and running.

I read this... https://github.com/simplegeo/java-simplegeo

I did exactly as recommended, except instead of using httpclient-4.0.jar and httpcore-4.0.jar, I used the latest (4.1.2) instead.

Turns out that with this combo, you get this error message and no simplego api love

hostname in certificate didn't match: <api.simplegeo.com/107.21.98.50> != <api.simplegeo.com>

After much cursing and searching, I realized my mistake... turns out if you drop back down to httpclient 4.1.1 life is good again

Simplego api love now abounds

Anyway, hope this might help someone else.
