Making a HTTPS request using Android Volley

Question

I am trying to make a https request using this code:

RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getApplicationContext());
request = new Request

        

Answer 1

If anyone is using nginx and SSL certificates from letsencrypt, the solution is to simply use the certificate from file fullchain.pem instead of cert.pem:

ssl_certificate     /.../fullchain.pem;

This file includes the concatenation of your certificate and the CA's.

Answer 2

you can add this class and execut it from onCreate method

new NukeSSLCerts().nuke();

it will make volley to Trust all SSL certificates.

Answer 3

got this error when i turned off proxy from cloudflare check image here the best solution for this problem is you can turn on proxy back and also add a full secure access on ssl certificate.

Answer 4

I couldn't open the link provided by @Ogre_BGR,but while browsing the net I found the actual implementation done in following smanikandan14 Github.Look upon his SSl-connection explanation to understand more about it.

Answer 5

For anyone who will come up against a problem like this and you use Letsencrypt for your SSL and node.js for webserver, try this. Assuming you have something like this. I fixed this by adding the line const chain = fs... Hope this helps

...
const app = express();
const privateKey  = fs.readFileSync('ssl/privkey.pem', 'utf8');
const certificate = fs.readFileSync('ssl/cert.pem', 'utf8');
const chain = fs.readFileSync('ssl/chain.pem', 'utf8');
const credentials = {key: privateKey, cert: certificate, ca: chain};
...
var httpsServer = https.createServer(credentials, app);

Answer 6

This can happen for several reasons, including:

• The CA that issued the server certificate was unknown
• The server certificate wasn't signed by a CA, but was self signed
• The server configuration is missing an intermediate CA
