Socket httpcomponents ssl connection results are closed

Question

I am trying to get some data from a web server that works fine with http.

But when I try https (ssl connection), I get exceptions as below.

I get an http status code 200 and a response length of 2230. That's right.

java.net.SocketException: Socket is closed at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.checkEOF(SSLSocketImpl.java:1483) at sun.security.ssl.AppInputStream.read(AppInputStream.java:92) at org.apache.http.impl.io.AbstractSessionInputBuffer.fillBuffer(AbstractSessionInputBuffer.java:166) at org.apache.http.impl.io.SocketInputBuffer.fillBuffer(SocketInputBuffer.java:90) at org.apache.http.impl.io.AbstractSessionInputBuffer.read(AbstractSessionInputBuffer.java:183) at org.apache.http.impl.io.ContentLengthInputStream.read(ContentLengthInputStream.java:144) at org.apache.http.conn.EofSensorInputStream.read(EofSensorInputStream.java:121) 

My code is as follows: apache httpcomponents httpclient (4.2.5).

  try { HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(uri); HttpHost targetHost = new HttpHost(HOST_NAME, HOST_PORT, PROTOCOL); InputStreamEntity reqEntity = new InputStreamEntity(new ByteArrayInputStream(request), -1); String contentType = TSPConstants.CONST_TSA_CONTENT_TYPE_TSREQUEST; reqEntity.setContentType(contentType); reqEntity.setChunked(true); // It may be more appropriate to use FileEntity class in this particular // instance but we are using a more generic InputStreamEntity to demonstrate // the capability to stream out data from any arbitrary source // // FileEntity entity = new FileEntity(file, "binary/octet-stream"); httppost.setEntity(reqEntity); //Authentication httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials( new AuthScope(targetHost.getHostName(), targetHost.getPort()), new UsernamePasswordCredentials(id, password)); // Create AuthCache instance AuthCache authCache = new BasicAuthCache(); // Generate BASIC scheme object and add it to the local // auth cache BasicScheme basicAuth = new BasicScheme(); authCache.put(targetHost, basicAuth); // Add AuthCache to the execution context BasicHttpContext httpContext = new BasicHttpContext(); httpContext.setAttribute(ClientContext.AUTH_CACHE, authCache); httpContext.setAttribute(ClientContext.COOKIE_STORE, cookieStore); //SSL SSLContext ctx = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS"); X509TrustManager tm = new X509TrustManager() { public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] xcs, String string) throws CertificateException { } public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] xcs, String string) throws CertificateException { } public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() { return null; } }; ctx.init(null, new TrustManager[]{tm}, null); SSLSocketFactory ssf = new SSLSocketFactory(ctx, SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER); Scheme sch = new Scheme("https", HOST_PORT, ssf); httpclient.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(sch); System.out.println("executing request " + httppost.getRequestLine()); httpclient.execute(httppost, httpContext); HttpResponse response = send(request); HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity(); System.out.println("----------------------------------------"); System.out.println(response.getStatusLine()); if (resEntity != null) { System.out.println("Response content length: " + resEntity.getContentLength()); System.out.println("Chunked?: " + resEntity.isChunked()); } EntityUtils.consume(resEntity); resEntity.getContent() } finally { // When HttpClient instance is no longer needed, // shut down the connection manager to ensure // immediate deallocation of all system resources httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown(); }
