I need to send request through HTTPS. I have read a lot about SSL and there is lots about SSL on Google but no starting place where to start.
I need to connect to a web service through HTTPS and send and receive data. I am using HttpsUrlConnection to send the requests of. The web service provider does not have a self signed certificate as this would be displayed on the Internet Explorer page. The certificate is issed by COMODA High-Assurance Secure Server CA but is not self signed.
How can I connect, send and receieve data with SSL connections? Please see below code:
public class Sender {
public void send(String endpoint) {
URL url = new URL(endpoint);
HttpsURLConnection httpsUrlConnection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
httpsUrlConnection.setRequestMethod(new String("POST"));
httpsUrlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
httpsUrlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/xml");
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(null, getTrustManager(), new SecureRandom());
httpsUrlConnection.setSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
httpsUrlConnection.connect();
OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(httpsUrlConnection.getOutputStream());
outputStreamWriter.write(""); // writes XML data
outputStreamWriter.flush();
outputStreamWriter.close();
InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(httpsUrlConnection.getInputStream());
char i = (char) inputStreamReader.read();
System.out.println(i);
}
public TrustManager[] getTrustManager() {
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { new X509TrustManager() {
public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] xcs, String string) throws CertificateException {
}
public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] xcs, String string) throws CertificateException {
System.out.println("AuthType : " + " " + string);
for(int i = 0; i < xcs.length; i++) {
System.out.println("\t" + xcs[i].getIssuerX500Principal().getName());
System.out.println("\t" + xcs[i].getIssuerDN().getName());
}
}
public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return null;
}
}};
return trustAllCerts;
} }
I have read about SSL on: http://wpengine.com/support/how-does-all-this-work-https-ssl-certificates-ca-public-and-private-keys-csrs/ and http://www.instantssl.com/ssl-certificate-products/https.html.
As I mentioned I don't have a self signed certificate but I have used InstallCert.java.
From the above, I receive the following Exception when the httpsUrlConnection.getInputStream() is called
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: // the URL endpoint
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: https://webaddress.co.uk/Service/services/Service?wsdl // not actual address. I can't give this but this is a sample address

What I am doing wrong? Is there anything to add?
From the getTrustManager() four certificates are printed in the Console.
