Android - HTTP GET SELF SIGNED

How do I accept a self-signed certificate with a Java HttpsURLConnection?

I have set up a HTTP GET.

The code is as follows:

public class GetMethodEx {

public String getInternetData() throws Exception{       

        BufferedReader in = null;
        String data = null;
        try
        {
            HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
            URI website = new URI("http://www.google.com");
            HttpGet request = new HttpGet();
            request.setURI(website);
            HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
            in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
            String l = "";
            String nl = System.getProperty("line.separator");
            while ((l = in.readLine()) !=null){
                sb.append(l + nl);
            }
            in.close();
            data = sb.toString();
            return data;        
        } finally{
            if (in != null){
                try{
                    in.close();
                    return data;
                }catch (Exception e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
}

}

The code allows me to retrieve any http websites, that I assume signed certificates.

However, when I try to retrieve a request from my self-signed server. I get no response.

Thanks for links guys, I am just a little clueless as to how to implement this into my code. — Lyanor Roze, Dec 03 '12 at 15:22

To resume, you could use one of those two answers and this will resolve your problem:

Self-signed SSL acceptance on Android
How can I use different certificates on specific connections? (thanks to Warpzit )

It is easy to fix your problem.

Do i create a new class for this? or the GetMethod class will be fine? – Lyanor Roze Dec 03 '12 at 15:26
You can use the GetMethod class if you need to connect to your non signed server only in this class. The best solution will be to creste a separate class and use it anywhere in your code withoud duplicating code, that's the one of the "good programming techniaues". – Milos Cuculovic Dec 03 '12 at 15:32
Would I call it before I run the HttpGet or onCreate? – Lyanor Roze Dec 03 '12 at 15:34
Which solution are you trying to use? – Milos Cuculovic Dec 03 '12 at 15:37
If you use the one which is checked as the right answer, you will have to download the two exta classes, as describet. Then, in your GetMethodEx, you will be able to call those methods. – Milos Cuculovic Dec 03 '12 at 15:54
I am using android 4.0 so, i do not believe this method works. So how will i do Wazrpzit's method? – Lyanor Roze Dec 03 '12 at 16:00
Why do you think that with Andorid 4.0 it will not work? – Milos Cuculovic Dec 03 '12 at 16:03
He mentions this below the code. – Lyanor Roze Dec 03 '12 at 16:07
Oh yes, sorry, haven't seen that. Check this for froyo and later: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2899079/custom-ssl-handling-stopped-working-on-android-2-2-froyo – Milos Cuculovic Dec 03 '12 at 16:19
