Jere, Take a look at the AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory class. It may be what you need. Feel free to take it as a starting point and customize its behaviour to meet the specific needs of your application

I have an application that needs to make http(s) requests from the Application Server to some URL. These URLs are SiteMinded, which means I need to pass header info, cookies AND a certificate. The application is not mine, but uses HTTPClient to do 2 of the 3. Would you be so kind as to supply me with some idea's on how I would get HTTPClient to send a certificate, please? Thank you for your time, Jere Robinson *************************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
