I've an applet that needs to access a servlet (well, actually a jsp page) that requires a client certificate. I've had success with Sun's standard URL + HttpURLConnection classes but since I'm getting "connection timed out: connect" problems I am seeking to set the timeout value longer. After some searching, it seemed to that there's no way to do such a thing with Sun's classes and that I should perhaps try Apache's httpclient if I must set the timeout value and so I here I am.
Needless to say, I stumped on a problem right away, which I kind of expected because I suspected httpclient wouldn't be able to use the browser's https connection without me doing some tricky things. So, what should I do? Surely somebody in here must have used httpclient in an applet to do some https access, right? I don't think the message I got (on the java plugin console) would be of much use, but let me quote a bit anyway: java.net.SocketException: Default SSL context init failed: failed to decrypt safe contents entry: javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded at javax.net.ssl.DefaultSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.SSLProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket(SSLProtocolSocketFactory.java:81) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.SSLProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket(SSLProtocolSocketFactory.java:126) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.open(HttpConnection.java:706) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeWithRetry(HttpMethodDirector.java:386) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeMethod(HttpMethodDirector.java:170) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:396) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:324) ... -- This message was sent on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] at openSubscriber.com http://www.opensubscriber.com/messages/httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org/topic.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
