Dear Odi, I am using jsse for the ssl implementation. I still want to use HttpClient in my program. If I am assuming that the server and client certificate both valid and they're communicating to each other. Are they communicating in a secure line? (ie: no one can get or decrypt the data ?) Do you have any reference or links to read to strengthen the communication between client and server? Thanks in advance Quent

How secure the SSL connections are is dependent on the algorithm used. To be sure you should disable known weak algorithms in your SSL implementation. Furthermore you can check the server certificate and supply a client certificate. For a ultra-sensitive data (like banking applications) it is certainly not sufficient to have just the code you posted.
