I am writing a file reader through REST api, simple code as below:
import domain
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
public class Verifier{
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
{
URL url = new URL("https://somehostname.xx.xxx.net/somecontent?somequery=number");
try{
HttpsURLConnection http=(HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
int reponse = http.getResponseCode();
//some json processing
//...
}catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Then I got the error at line
int reponse = http.getResponseCode();
where the error message is:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative DNS name matching somehostname.xx.xxx.net found.

The content from the same site can be retrieved through the chrome browser, without any username or password (but it did show there is a problem with this website's security certificate in IE explorer, not in Chrome, you can continue to get the json content without typing anything).
I am thinking there might be some certificate problem in JAVA/eclipse, maybe? How can I solve it?
Thanks.
