HttpGet with HTTPS : SSLPeerUnverifiedException

Question

Using HttpClient, I receive the following error when attempting to communicate over HTTPS:

Exception in thread \"main\" javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifie

Answer 1

Using HttpClient 3.x, you need to do this:

Protocol easyHttps = new Protocol("https", new EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory(), 443);
Protocol.registerProtocol("https", easyHttps);

An implementation of EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory can be found here.
