What is the preferred way to do SSL on Android?
Coming from a long time Java background, I have tended to jump to a
https protocol URLConnection:
// URL connection channel.
HttpURLConnection url_connnection =
(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
// Let the RTS know that we want to do output.
url_connnection.setDoOutput( true );
// No caching, we want the real thing.
url_connnection.setUseCaches( false );
// Send POST output.
if( post_params!=null && !post_params.isEmpty() ) {
uploadPostParameters( post_params, url_connnection );
}
// Get Input
input_stream = url_connection.getInputStream();
But this code is running into all sorts of problems on varying
platforms and OS versions:
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Write error: ssl=0x8f548: I/O error
during system call, Broken pipe
Empty string responses (no error thrown) with no sign of an external
connection on the server logs
java.io.IOException: SSL handshake failure: I/O error during system
call, Connection reset by peer
java.io.IOException: SSL handshake failure: Failure in SSL library,
usually a protocol error
error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown
protocol (external/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:585 0xaf58a49b:0x00000000)
The first two usually go away by repeating it (which is consistent
with Android issue 8625). The handshake exceptions do not seem to go
away once present.
To be clear, this is not a self-signed certificate on my SSL server.
