Ok, it is as I was suspecting. The problem is that the certificate (having a CNAME = www.mydomain.com, but being loaded from https://mywebservice.elasticbeanstalk.com) seems to the Android client as invalid, thus it doesn't even send the GET/POST request to the server.
I realized this when I send a POST method from the terminal (using "curl"), ignoring the ssl verification warnings (-k option). This time the secure connection responded as expected, sending back the json reply. Based on Google's own Android documentation suggestion (http://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-ssl.html#CommonHostnameProbs), I tried to alter the HostnameVerifier method in order to get past the certification validation. This is how my ClientResource is currently created: /public static ClientResource createClientResource(String resourceUri) { Reference reference = new Reference(resourceUri); System.setProperty( "ssl.TrustManagerFactory.algorithm", javax.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm()); org.restlet.Context context = new org.restlet.Context(); context.getAttributes().put("hostnameVerifier", new HostnameVerifier() { @Override public boolean verify(String arg0, SSLSession arg1) { return true; } }); ClientResource resource = new ClientResource(context, reference); Engine.getInstance().getRegisteredClients().clear(); Engine.getInstance().getRegisteredClients().add(new HttpClientHelper(null)); Engine.getInstance().getRegisteredConverters().add(0, new JacksonConverter()); resource.release(); return resource; }/ But this doesn't work either, I still get the 1001 recoverable error. Still, the Android client can't get past the "invalid" request. I'd greatly appreciate any suggetions. :) br, Alex -- View this message in context: http://restlet-discuss.1400322.n2.nabble.com/Android-client-Restlet-2-0-15-cannot-connect-with-HTTPS-SSL-recoverable-error-1001-tp7578771p7578778.html Sent from the Restlet Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=3054928
