I have a Webpage which requires Mutual auth to load the page. 
I get onReceivedError() with ERROR_FAILED_SSL_HANDSHAKE. In the logs "Could 
not establish a secure connection" is printed by Webkit.
I have searched extensively but could not find an answer. There are several 
posts but nothing conclusive.
I tried all 3 solutions posted  here :-

The solution likely to work was :-
Solution 1:
use ClientCertRequestHandler anyway (It's marked as hidden, but apparently 
still usable):

So i modified the android.jar to include the internal API for overriding 
onReceivedClientCertRequest()
But i am not getting the callback at runtime. Same is the case with any 
third party browser. I tried loading the same webpage in a standard 
browser. I got a callback on UI asking the User to select a Client 
certificate. 

So seems that only system browser app can get the callback for 
onReceivedClientCertRequest()  from Webkit.


In case of iOS platform, Webview cannot directly load the site too . But 
making an HTTPS Connection using NSURL , 
keeps the Client certificate in memory for some time and Webview can load 
this page successfully. 

On Android i have successfully setup HTTPS communication by registering an 
SSLSocketFactory loading Client and Server certificates. 
I can do REST API calls using that.However unlike iOS, i cannot find a way 
in which Android webview can use the Client certificate for Mutual auth.

I think having Mutual auth over a Webview should be supported by the 
platform as one of the basic requirements for security. Is there any update 
on this issue  ?
