I am using Apache HttpClient(4.0) to communicate with an HTTP server(SSL configured).
The server is using a self-signed certificate. Ideally I would love to have HttpClient library behave the same way as browsers, but after doing some google I understand that I will have to import the certificate to JRE keystore(cacert). Inspite of installing the certificate in JRE keystore, I am stil getting "SSLHandshake exception".
Here is a SSL log, I am not an expert in this area, so need help to analyse the contents of the log.
