Solution

You can use SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER

SSLSocketFactory sf = new SSLSocketFactory(
SSLContext.getInstance("TLS"),
SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
Scheme sch = new Scheme("https", 443, sf);
httpclient.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(sch);

HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("https://host/");

Where you are trying to connect.

This answer seems to assume the OP is using the Apache HttpClient library, but he appears to be using the AsyncHttpClient... That HTTP-client object does not appear to have a getConnectionManager method.

SSLContext.getInstance("TLS") had to get replaced with SSLContext.getDefault() in order for this code to work correctly for me without erroring at run time.
