Answer 1

the certificate error solution is a combination from a few places

• https://github.com/Mashape/unirest-java/issues/70, where i started.
• http://literatejava.com/networks/ignore-ssl-certificate-errors-apache-httpclient-4-4/ very good explanation.
• http://www.baeldung.com/httpclient-ssl, solution for all versions.

and a relatively complete example.

import java.security.KeyManagementException;
import java.security.KeyStoreException;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;

import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.security.cert.CertificateException;
import javax.security.cert.X509Certificate;

import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.NoopHostnameVerifier;
import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.TrustSelfSignedStrategy;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients;
import org.apache.http.ssl.SSLContextBuilder;

import com.mashape.unirest.http.HttpResponse;
import com.mashape.unirest.http.JsonNode;
import com.mashape.unirest.http.Unirest;
import com.mashape.unirest.http.exceptions.UnirestException;

public class XXX {

    private static HttpClient unsafeHttpClient;

    static {
        try {
            SSLContext sslContext = new SSLContextBuilder().loadTrustMaterial(null, new TrustSelfSignedStrategy() {
                public boolean isTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException {
                    return true;
                }
            }).build();

            unsafeHttpClient = HttpClients.custom().setSSLContext(sslContext)
                    .setSSLHostnameVerifier(new NoopHostnameVerifier()).build();

        } catch (KeyManagementException | NoSuchAlgorithmException | KeyStoreException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static HttpClient getClient() {
        return unsafeHttpClient;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {
            HttpClient creepyClient = RestUnirestClient.getClient();
            Unirest.setHttpClient(creepyClient);

            HttpResponse response = Unirest.get("https://httpbin.org/get?show_env=1").asJson();
            System.out.println(response.getBody().toString());

        } catch (UnirestException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
