I'm using HttpSolrServer (in Solr 3.6) to connect to a Solr web service and perform a query.
The certificate at the other end has expired and so connections now fail. It will take the IT at the other end too many days to replace the cert (this is out of my control). How can I tell the HttpSolrServer to ignore bad certs when it does queries to the server? NOTE 1: I noticed that I can pass my own Apache HttpClient (we're currently using 4.3) into the HttpSolrServer constructor, but internally HttpSolrServer seems to do a lot of customizing/configuring it's own default HttpClient, so I didn't want to mess with that. NOTE: This is an 100% internal application so there is real security problems with this temporary workaround. Thanks!! rh
