Thanks sebastian for your reply but my problem persist even without httpclient plugin. I dont know if this problem affects only a parsechecker tool or if is a crawl problem. I was reading and i thinks that the problem is with the certificate of the website, Do you know if i can put a property for trust in websites´s certificates without validation ?
this is my output in terminal ************************** bin/nutch parsechecker https://dragones.uci.cu/ fetching: https://dragones.uci.cu/ Fetch failed with protocol status: exception(16), lastModified=0: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target ************************************ and this is my log file *************************** 2014-11-13 15:26:42,603 INFO parse.ParserChecker - fetching: https://dragones.uci.cu/ 2014-11-13 15:26:42,738 INFO httpclient.Http - http.proxy.host = null 2014-11-13 15:26:42,738 INFO httpclient.Http - http.proxy.port = 8080 2014-11-13 15:26:42,738 INFO httpclient.Http - http.timeout = 10000 2014-11-13 15:26:42,738 INFO httpclient.Http - http.content.limit = 65536 2014-11-13 15:26:42,738 INFO httpclient.Http - http.agent = orión/Nutch-1.9 2014-11-13 15:26:42,738 INFO httpclient.Http - http.accept.language = en-us,en-gb,en;q=0.7,*;q=0.3 2014-11-13 15:26:42,738 INFO httpclient.Http - http.accept = text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 2014-11-13 15:26:43,102 ERROR httpclient.Http - Failed to get protocol output javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.fatal(SSLSocketImpl.java:1884) at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java:276) at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java:270) at sun.security.ssl.ClientHandshaker.serverCertificate(ClientHandshaker.java:1439) at sun.security.ssl.ClientHandshaker.processMessage(ClientHandshaker.java:209) at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.processLoop(Handshaker.java:878) at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.process_record(Handshaker.java:814) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:1016) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.performInitialHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1312) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.writeRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:702) at sun.security.ssl.AppOutputStream.write(AppOutputStream.java:122) at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flushBuffer(BufferedOutputStream.java:82) at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flush(BufferedOutputStream.java:140) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.flushRequestOutputStream(HttpConnection.java:828) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager$HttpConnectionAdapter.flushRequestOutputStream(MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager.java:1565) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.writeRequest(HttpMethodBase.java:2116) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.execute(HttpMethodBase.java:1096) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeWithRetry(HttpMethodDirector.java:398) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeMethod(HttpMethodDirector.java:171) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:397) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:323) at org.apache.nutch.protocol.httpclient.HttpResponse.<init>(HttpResponse.java:94) at org.apache.nutch.protocol.httpclient.Http.getResponse(Http.java:154) at org.apache.nutch.protocol.http.api.HttpBase.getProtocolOutput(HttpBase.java:183) at org.apache.nutch.parse.ParserChecker.run(ParserChecker.java:132) at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:65) at org.apache.nutch.parse.ParserChecker.main(ParserChecker.java:222) Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java:385) at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.engineValidate(PKIXValidator.java:292) at sun.security.validator.Validator.validate(Validator.java:260) at sun.security.ssl.X509TrustManagerImpl.validate(X509TrustManagerImpl.java:326) at sun.security.ssl.X509TrustManagerImpl.checkTrusted(X509TrustManagerImpl.java:231) at sun.security.ssl.X509TrustManagerImpl.checkServerTrusted(X509TrustManagerImpl.java:126) at sun.security.ssl.ClientHandshaker.serverCertificate(ClientHandshaker.java:1421) ... 23 more Caused by: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilder.engineBuild(SunCertPathBuilder.java:196) at java.security.cert.CertPathBuilder.build(CertPathBuilder.java:268) at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java:380) ... 29 more ********************************************************* MAESTRÍA DE GESTIÓN DE PROYECTOS INFORMÁTICOS EN ACREDITACIÓN(Buscando la excele).
