What is the preferred way to do SSL on Android? Coming from a long time Java background, I have tended to jump to a https protocol URLConnection:
// URL connection channel. HttpURLConnection url_connnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection(); // Let the RTS know that we want to do output. url_connnection.setDoOutput( true ); // No caching, we want the real thing. url_connnection.setUseCaches( false ); // Send POST output. if( post_params!=null && !post_params.isEmpty() ) { uploadPostParameters( post_params, url_connnection ); } // Get Input input_stream = url_connection.getInputStream(); But this code is running into all sorts of problems on varying platforms and OS versions: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Write error: ssl=0x8f548: I/O error during system call, Broken pipe Empty string responses (no error thrown) with no sign of an external connection on the server logs java.io.IOException: SSL handshake failure: I/O error during system call, Connection reset by peer java.io.IOException: SSL handshake failure: Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol (external/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:585 0xaf58a49b:0x00000000) The first two usually go away by repeating it (which is consistent with Android issue 8625). The handshake exceptions do not seem to go away once present. To be clear, this is not a self-signed certificate on my SSL server. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
