Try with Apache HTTP client, this works for me.

SSLContextBuilder builder = new SSLContextBuilder();
builder.loadTrustMaterial(null, new TrustStrategy() {
     public boolean isTrusted(final X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException {
          return true;
     }
});
SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslsf = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(builder.build());

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(sslsf).build();

// GET or POST request with the client
