Not sure about your question here.
The client side of SNI is taken care of in modern JDKs, which send the
SNI TLS extension by default to servers.
The current problem in Java is that it is not readable by servers.

AFAIK only SSL connections created using URL class use SNI. SSL sockets that are created manually have to be explicitly set to use SNI by using setHost method (as demonstrated by the link in the Ryan's email). But I may be wrong here.

JSR 339 is about a REST API on the server side.
I am not sure what you mean here about the client side.

JSR 339 also defines client api, take a look at chapter 5 of the spec.

Jetty's HttpClient is completely based on NIO, completely asynchronous.

That is great! I wiil take a closer look.

Thank you for answers, Simone.
