How to make Apache Ant ignore SSL checks when downloading a file via get?

Question

Apache Ant

When I try to save a file from github, I get an error:

javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: handshake alert:  unrecognized_name

Task example:

<target name="lib">
    <get src="https://github.com/claus/as3swf/raw/master/bin/as3swf.swc" dest="lib/as3swf.swc"/>
</target>

Is there a way to make ant ignore SSL checks?
Ant runs under IntelliJ IDEA 13.1, JDK 1.7.

In Java 7, SNI is enabled by default. In some cases this results in an error like yours. You can disable SNI when starting Ant or IDEA.
