Subject alternative names not supported?

[Alexandros Karypidis]

Hello,

I've upgraded to Mercurial 1.7.3 and found that Mercurial now validates 
certificates. I installed my CA certificate in .hg/hgrc and now I get:

abort: host.vpn.mydomain.com certificate error: certificate is for 
host.internal.mydomain.com

The problem is that hosts have a different name for their VPN interface 
than on the intranet. For that reason, certificates are issued with the 
VPN hostname as a subject alternative name (using X509v3). However, 
Mercurial seems to ignore this.

Is there a way around this? Will subject alternative names be supproted 
in the next version?
