It works but you have to do some modifications on io.socket library. Instead of using the socketio.jar, import into src folder the io.socket library (You'll find inside socket.io-java-client package). There, you have to edit the WebsocketTransport class.

Here you have the solution

https://github.com/Gottox/socket.io-java-client/issues/60

 public WebsocketTransport(URI uri, IOConnection connection) {
    super(uri);
    this.connection = connection;
    SSLContext context = null;
    try {
        context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS", "HarmonyJSSE");
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (NoSuchProviderException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 
    try {
        context.init(null, null, null);
    } catch (KeyManagementException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    if("wss".equals(uri.getScheme()) && context != null) {
        this.setWebSocketFactory(new DefaultSSLWebSocketClientFactory(context));
    }
}

And remember to call the setDefaultSSLSocketFactory like this:

socket = new SocketIO();
socket.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(SSLContext.getDefault());
socket.connect("https://www.myHttpsServer.com:443/");

Hope it helps someone ;)
