https -- connects fine on windows / error on unix
Recently I had been struggling with some code to get a https connection to work. It was coming up with an error that no trusted certificates could be found. I resolved that thanks to some feedback and sites but i've encountered a new problem -- I'm working on the program on Windows and putting into a unix server to be run. This worked fine initially with no problems, then the server changed from http to https, so I had to implement some changes to deal with this (as mentioned above) -- now however, even though it works fine on windows when put on unix, it throws up this error
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
here's the code..
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt(new sun.security.provider.Sun(),2);
java.security.Security.addProvider(new sun.security.provider.Sun());
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider(),1);
// set protocol to java.protocol.handler.pkgs property to 'HTTP'
// -- to do with if report server site is HTTPS
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","HTTP");
// Trustmanager -- set to trust any certificate for a secure server
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts =new TrustManager[]{new X509TrustManager(){
public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers(){
returnnull;
}
publicvoid checkClientTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType){
}
publicvoid checkServerTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType){
}
}};
try{
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts,new java.security.SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
URL url =null;
try{
url =new URL( rptUrl );//rptUrl contains url to use
}catch (MalformedURLException mue){
mue.printStackTrace();
}
//HttpsURLConnection c;
try{
URLConnection c = url.openConnection();
//set cache and request method settings
c.setUseCaches(false);
//set other headers
c.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type","application/pdf");
//connect to the server..
c.connect();
////some code about what to do with file etc etc....
Any ideas why unix isnt liking this? Thanks a lot
