Java client certificates over HTTPS/SSL

Question

I am using Java 6 and am trying to create an HttpsURLConnection against a remote server, using a client certificate.
The server is using an selfsigned root

Answer 1

I use the Apache commons HTTP Client package to do this in my current project and it works fine with SSL and a self-signed cert (after installing it into cacerts like you mentioned). Please take a look at it here:
