HTTPS using Jersey Client

Question

How do I send GET requests using the Jersey Client API to a server which runs on the HTTPS protocol. Is there any sample code that I can use ?

Answer 1

Construct your client as such

HostnameVerifier hostnameVerifier = HttpsURLConnection.getDefaultHostnameVerifier(); ClientConfig config = new DefaultClientConfig(); SSLContext ctx = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL"); ctx.init(null, myTrustManager, null); config.getProperties().put(HTTPSProperties.PROPERTY_HTTPS_PROPERTIES, new HTTPSProperties(hostnameVerifier, ctx)); Client client = Client.create(config);
