accepting HTTPS connections with self-signed certificates

Question

I\'m trying to make HTTPS connections, using HttpClient lib, but the problem is that, since the certificate isn\'t signed by a recognized Certificate Authority

Answer 1

Here's how you can add additional certificates to your KeyStore to avoid this problem: Trusting all certificates using HttpClient over HTTPS

It won't prompt the user like you ask, but it will make it less likely that the user will run into a "Not trusted server certificate" error.
