Trying to fix - https://github.com/vert-x/mod-rxvertx/issues/39

Hey Guys,

I am connecting to a server with self-signed cert on SSL, which causes SSL Handshake Exception.

In a vertx world, javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException are handled by the exception handler attached to "HttpClient", not by the exception handler that's attached to "HttpClientRequest". I am proposing following change in RxHttpClient to handle it.

this.core.exceptionHandler(new Handler() {
@OverRide
public void handle(Throwable event) {
rh.fail(event);
}
});

this seems like a bug in Vert.x if it can happy on a per-request basis but the error is at the client level.

i think you'd need a better way to map the error to only the request that failed, unless it can be assumed that all requests must fail
