Issue requests from local Google App Engine devserver with TLSv1.2

I'm running an AppEngine on Java 1.7, using the Spring framework. I need to do request to the Stripe API , which requires TLSv1.2 when doing a request. This works fine when deploying the application to the Google environment, but it refuses to use this protocol when running the server locally. It gives the following error:

Stripe no longer supports API requests made with TLS 1.0. Please initiate HTTPS connections with TLS 1.2 or later. You can learn more about this at https://stripe.com/blog/upgrading-tls.

I'm using IntelliJ, AppEngine SDK version 1.9.42 in combination with Maven. I've tried adding build options in multiple places (-Ddeployment.security.TLSv1.2=true -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2), in the IntelliJ Run/Debug configuration, in the XML JVM flags, in the dev_appserver.py file, but none of them worked. How can I enable TLSv1.2 in my Java 7 local development server, and talk to the Stripe API?

From the blog entry referenced in the error log:

You can proactively check whether your Stripe integration is ready, and how to upgrade, by following the steps on our TLS deprecation page.

And from that link which points to How do I upgrade my Stripe integration from TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.2? you can find the Java-specific instructions:

You can determine whether your Java integration is affected from the Java version you are running, and the stripe-java version you are using.

You can find your Java version by running java -version at the command line, and your stripe-java version by looking for the version number in your jar file’s name, for example stripe-java-1.40.0.jar or by finding the version of the Stripe dependency in your POM file.

If you are running Java

  • version 1.6, you will need to upgrade to at least Java version 1.7, and stripe-java version 1.36.0.
  • version 1.7, and you have a stripe-java version earlier than 1.36.0, you will need to upgrade to at least stripe-java version 1.36.0.
  • version 1.8, you will not need to change anything.

You can upgrade your stripe-java version by downloading a new jar, or by upgrading the version number in your POM, and rebuilding your project.

You can upgrade your Java version by downloading a new copy, or installing a newer version of OpenJDK.
