JerseyClient and HttpClient - connecting to SSL secured web service

[Colin Duggan]

Hi,

I'm using Jersey Client along with HttpClient4 to connect to a JAX-WS web service. The service URL is protected by SSL.

I'm configuring my HttpClient to include a Scheme for SSL using port 443. The JerseyClient attempts to connect to the service however it does so using regular HTTP on port 80. If i run the code in debug and modify the port to use 443 i can see the request being sent (i have debug enabled in my logger) however the connection then gets reset and the request fails.

 DEBUG org.apache.http.wire  - >> "[\r][\n]"
515937 [main] DEBUG org.apache.http.wire  - >> "0[\r][\n]"
515937 [main] DEBUG org.apache.http.wire  - >> "[\r][\n]"
516062 [main] DEBUG org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultClientConnection  - Connection closed
516062 [main] DEBUG org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient  - Closing the connection.
516062 [main] DEBUG org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultClientConnection  - Connection closed

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandlerException: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

I need to use the HttpClient along with JerseyClient so i can have control over the credentials which are set. Does anyone have any ideas?
