Problem summary

• Support has been added for TLS channel binding tokens for
   Negotiate/Kerberos authentication over HTTPS through
   javax.net.HttpsURLConnection.
   Channel binding tokens are increasingly required as
  an enhanced form
   of security. They work by communicating from a
  client to a server
   the client's understanding of the binding between
  connection security, as represented by a TLS server
  cert, and
  higher level
   authentication credentials, such as a username and
  password. The
   server can then detect if the client has been fooled
  by a MITM (Man
   In The Middle) and shutdown the session or
  connection. The feature
   is controlled through a new system property
   `jdk.https.negotiate.cbt` which is described fully
  in <OSB>Networking
   Properties
  
  <CSB>(https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/doc-fil
  
  es/net-properties.html).
