Hi, I'm having a problem connecting to an SSL site using HttpClient, and I'm looking for an easy fix if possible.
The web site is http://www.pinnaclesports.com. Before today, when I tried to login to this web site with Firefox, the browser complained that Pinnacle was not using a valid certificate. I complained to Pinnacle, and they responded that I had to import into Firefox the certificate at this address : https://certificates.starfieldtech.com/repository/sf_issuing.crt I did that, and the error went away. With Internet Explorer, there was no problem from the beginning. With HttpClient, I get the following exception : Fatal transport error: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target I searched for an answer, and stumbled on a possible fix using the "keytool" utility to import the certificate. I did the following : keytool -import -alias starfield -file c:\download\sf_issuing.cer I tried my program again, and it gave me the same problem. Bottom line is this : I have no interest in understanding the inner workings of SSL and its configuration in Java. All I want is some easy way to use HttpClient for PinnacleSports' SSL sections. All the other web sites I need to connect to using SSL work, and I just want Pinnacle Sports to work too. So : is there an easy fix to this ? Thank you very much for your time if you decide to answer... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
