Could you clarify your comment regarding hostname check being false
security?

Just about all SSL texts I have read say you must do that, and that is
what your web browser and email client does to ensure it is talking to
the right host, for example. Without that check you are subject to a man
in the middle attack. Or is there some other check you perform that is
better?
