Fredrik, This problem is clearly not HttpClient related, hence you have not been getting a lot of responses. HttpClient simply expects JSSE to be there and be properly configured in order for the HTTPS support to be functional. Please take a look at the HttpClient SSL guide paying special attention to the troubleshooting section

Hi all, I got a questing regarding using HttpClient from an MDB inside Jboss. Normal http connections work fine, but whenever I try to connect to a host using https I get a SocketException, claiming SSL is not available: 12:13:39,338 INFO [STDOUT] 2004-04-21 12:13:39,322 ERROR (HttpClientWrapper.java:120) Unable to connect to 'https://mail.yahoo.com' java.net.SocketException: SSL implementation not available at javax.net.ssl.DefaultSSLSocketFactory.createSocket([DashoPro-V1.2-120198]) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.SSLProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket (SSLProtocolSocketFactory.java:112) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection$1.doit(HttpConnection.java:691) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection$SocketTask.run(HttpConnection.j ava:1299) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534) 12:13:39,322 ERROR [HttpClientWrapper] Unable to connect to 'https://mail.yahoo.com' java.net.SocketException: SSL implementation not available at javax.net.ssl.DefaultSSLSocketFactory.createSocket([DashoPro-V1.2-120198]) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.SSLProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket (SSLProtocolSocketFactory.java:112) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection$1.doit(HttpConnection.java:691) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection$SocketTask.run(HttpConnection.j ava:1299) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534) The code works fine outside Jboss so I suppose there something I need to do in order to enable jsse for Jboss. The problem is that I do not have a clue *how* to set it up! If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Java 1.4_02, HttpClient 2.0-final and Jboss 3.2.3. I have also tried to set the system property java.protocol.handler.pkgs to "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol" using: String sRes = System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ww w.protocol"); also I try to add a provider with: Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider()); code looks like this: HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(); httpClient.setConnectionTimeout(connectTimeout); httpClient.setTimeout(readTimeout); HttpMethod method = null; //debug System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.Log", "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog"); System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showdatetime", "true"); System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.httpclient.wire ", "debug"); System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.org.apache.comm ons.httpclient", "debug"); String sRes = System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ww w.protocol"); int ret = Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider()); method = new GetMethod(url.toExternalForm()); method.setFollowRedirects(true); //execute the method try{ httpClient.executeMethod(method); // here exception is thrown String res = method.getResponseBodyAsString(); method.releaseConnection(); return res; } catch (HttpException e) { _log.error("Http error connecting to '" + url + "'", e); throw new HttpClientException(e.getMessage()); } catch (IOException e){ _log.error("Unable to connect to '" + url + "'", e); throw new HttpClientException(e.getMessage()); } Kind regards, Fredrik Bonde ~ Java Developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *************************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
