Ignore self-signed certificates in Apache HTTPClient 4.5

Question

I am trying to accept all certificates, and/or accept self-signed certificates using Apache HTTPClient version 4.5 (tutorial link here)

Answer 1

I'm using Apache HttpClient 4.5.3 and none of the above solutions helped. I always got the error

PKIX Path building failed

.

I found the solution in http://www.baeldung.com/httpclient-ssl

Here's my code:

try {
    SSLContext sslContext = new SSLContextBuilder()
            .loadTrustMaterial(null, (certificate, authType) -> true).build();
    httpClient = HttpClients.custom().setSSLContext(sslContext)
            .setSSLHostnameVerifier(new NoopHostnameVerifier())
            .build();
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException | KeyManagementException | KeyStoreException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
