Make your servlet act like a java HTTPS client using the java.net.URL, java.net.HttpURLConnection and javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection classes. Read from the response input stream (using java.io. classes) returned by the connection. You will need to write your own hostname verifier and have the target server certificate chain validated in your java certificate store.

Simple question, but it's driving me nuts. I really don't want to get into the whole web service business - all I need is for a servlet to be the recipient of its own request. Or - in other words - can a servlet act like a web browser - just without the GUI? Use case: - Servlet issues https request to an outside server (via getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(https://www.someoutsideserver/) ) - Outside server processes request and responds with POST response (also via https). - Servlet [somehow] is able to be the recipient of the response. - Servlet parses the response and stores data to the database. Notes: - The servlet is not the default servlet on that tomcat instance. - Everything happens via https and I expect the outside server will listen on 443 and tomcat on 8443 ANY suggestions would be very helpful - this seems to be a tricky one.
