Thanks for the reply Roland, it is appreciated. I do understand that there is an issue with certs but as I haven't connected to SSL / HTTPS in Java before I'm not sure how I can obtain the HTTPS cert from the address I'm connecting to and place it in the keystore. For example when a browser connects, it automatically receives the cert from the HTTPS address and does so without prompting if it is (the cert) signed by an appropriate / trusted CA such as verisign and prompts when it's not signed as such. The question I've got is either 1. how to obtain that cert and import, or 2. configure the Java code so that it automatically accepts the cert.
