/**
* This class is for various network permissions.
* An SSLPermission contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but
* no actions list; you either have the named permission
* or you don't.
* <P>
* The target name is the name of the network permission (see below). The naming
* convention follows the hierarchical property naming convention.
* Also, an asterisk
* may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to
* signify a wildcard match. For example: "foo.*" or "*" is valid,
* "*foo" or "a*b" is not valid.
* <P>
* The following table lists all the possible SSLPermission target names,
* and for each provides a description of what the permission allows
* and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
* <P>

* <td>setHostnameVerifier</td>
* <td>The ability to set a callback which can decide whether to
* allow a mismatch between the host being connected to by
* an HttpsURLConnection and the common name field in

* <td>Malicious
* code can set a verifier that monitors host names visited by
* HttpsURLConnection requests or that allows server certificates
* with invalid common names.

* <td>getSSLSessionContext</td>
