Https Connection Android

Question

I am doing a https post and I\'m getting an exception of ssl exception Not trusted server certificate. If i do normal http it is working perfectly fine. Do I have to accept

For some reason the solution mentioned for httpClient above didn't worked for me. At the end I was able to make it work by correctly overriding the method when implementing the custom SSLSocketFactory class.

@Override
public Socket createSocket(Socket socket, String host, int port, boolean autoClose) 
                              throws IOException, UnknownHostException 
    {
    return sslFactory.createSocket(socket, host, port, autoClose);
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket() throws IOException {
    return sslFactory.createSocket();
}

This is how it worked perfectly for me. You can see the full custom class and implementing on the following thread: http://blog.syedgakbar.com/2012/07/21/android-https-and-not-trusted-server-certificate-error/
