Dear Ortwin, thanks for the reply. I am done with using 1.EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jakarta/commons/proper/httpclient/trunk/src/contrib/org/apache/commons/httpclient/contrib/ssl/EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory.java?view=markup) 2.EasyX509TrustManager.java (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/httpclient/trunk/src/contrib/org/apache/commons/httpclient/contrib/ssl/EasyX509TrustManager.java) In the checkServerTrusted method of EasyX509TrustManager.java , I am calling standardTrustManager.checkServerTrusted() method only if the expiry date is less than sysdate. if the certificate is expired , i wont call this method.this solves my issue that if the certificate is expired ,it will not throw sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: thanks Ortwin once again for ur immediate reply. dhanasekaran --- Ortwin Glück <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
