        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 and shutdown the session or connection.

        The feature is controlled through a new system property `jdk.https.negotiate.cbt` which is described fully in [Networking Properties](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/19/docs/api/java.base/java/net/doc-files/net-properties.html#jdk.https.negotiate.cbt).
