I'm following the directions for enabling a custom socket factory (the "easy" one, for self-signed certs). I noticed that the instructions hardcode the scheme and port for the new protocol. Being somewhat anal, I thought it would be useful to first get the existing protocol, and just read the scheme and port from that, replacing the ssl socket factory.
The problem I'm having is that the return I'm getting from "hostConfig.getProtocol()" is a null pointer. I have code something like this: ---------------- HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(); httpClient.getHostConfiguration(). setProxy(getProxyHost(), getProxyPort()); Credentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(getProxyLogin(), getProxyPassword()); httpClient.getState(). setProxyCredentials(null, null, credentials); method = new PostMethod(getGatewayURL()); HostConfiguration hostConfig = httpClient.getHostConfiguration(); Protocol protocol = hostConfig.getProtocol(); System.out.println("protocol[" + protocol + "]"); ---------------- As I described, the println call shows that the "protocol" object is null. This makes it difficult to get any information out of it :) . --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
