Problem appears to have been resolved. When defining my new protocol object I was assigning it as follows
new Protocol( "https", new EasySSLSocketFactory(), 443 ); when it should be new Protocol( "myhttps", new EasySSLSocketFactory(), 443 ); Now when I register it as "myhttps", and pass in an "myhttps://"; style URL, everything works okay. I was thinking that I needed to have "https" in order to make it be SSL, but forgot that the SSLContext is what concerns itself about that. james -----Original Message----- From: James Sangster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 8:50 AM To: 'Jakarta Commons Users List' Subject: [httpclient 3.0 rc1] - Protocol.registerProtocol Hello, I started off developing my current project utilizing 3.0 rc1 of httpclient. It's all working fine, and perhaps the error I'm getting is fixed in rc3, but here goes. I'm attempting to register a new protocol which allows self-signed certificates to be accepted without saying "no trusted certificate found". I've based this code off of the EasySSLSocketFactory (sp?). It works beautifully when I register this with the string "https", as in Protocol.registerProtocol( "https", myProtocol ); However... the trouble for me starts when I register this with a different name, say, "myhttps", so as to avoid replacing the default https processing as I still want that available for most cases. If I pass in a URL with this prefix, it picks up the right ProtocolSocketFactory class (determined through the debugger), but it's methods are never called (writing out some System.out.println to test this). It seems that it's defaulting back to the default Sun https checking code as I get the exception of "no trusted certificate found". Has anyone else encountered this problem? Once again, if the "https" protocol is overwritten, it works fine, but if I register under anything different then it defaults to the basic https checking which returns an exception. Any help or even shared experienced would be welcome. james --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
