SecureProtocolFactoryWrapper class for using the socket factory created by Java
Web Start
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-601
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-601
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Contrib
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Environment: Java 5.0, Windows XP
Reporter: Mark Claassen
As smartcards and SSL are becoming more and more prevelant, Java Web Start has
started to become better equiped to handle these situations. When running an
app within webstart, it can access the browser's keystore, which (at least in
our case) accessed the users smartcard to make the SSL connection.
I wanted to start using HttpClient, but needed a way to do so while still
mainaining access to the browser's keystore.
My initial tests show that getting the default socket factory from the
java.net.HttpURLConnection and wrapping it in a class that implements
org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.SecureProtocolSocketFactory is
sufficient.
