There is no black magic involved in making HttpClient use SSL material stored on an external medium such as a smart card. All it takes an SSLContext or SSLSocketFactorty instance created based on the content of the smart card. How exactly this can be done depends I cannot tell but the card reader vendor should. Hope this helps somewhat.
