Hello list,
I'm writing a web spider using HttpCore 4.0.1 as the HTTP protocol
handler. I want to implement SSL support and I'm having some trouble.
Right now I have included only a single line of code to implement SSL:
schemes.register(new Scheme(PROTOCOL_HTTPS,
SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 443));
This works, sort of, except that it doesn't allow the program to talk
SSL using untrusted certificates. Since my program is a spider I don't
actually care about security, the spider will never send anything of
value to a webserver anyway. So I want to configure the socket factory
to always accept all certificates and SSL setup stuff no matter how
fucked up it might be.
Reading through the javadoc I found the following SSLSocketFactory
constructor:
new SSLSocketFactory(TrustStrategy customTrustStrategy)
So I thought I could use this with a TrustStrategy of my own:
public CustomTrustStrategy implements TrustStrategy
{
public boolean isTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType)
{
return true;
}
}
Unfortunately, this constructor doesn't exist in version 4.0.1 and
version 4.1 is still in beta. Is there another way that I can accomplish
what I want using HttpCore 4.0.1 and also is what I'm doing even the
right way to do what I want?
Thanks,
Jurgen Voorneveld
