HttpsURLConnection
extends HttpURLConnection
with support for https-specific features.
See http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Protocols/ and RFC 2818 for more details on the https specification.
This class uses HostnameVerifier
and
SSLSocketFactory
.
There are default implementations defined for both classes.
However, the implementations can be replaced on a per-class (static) or
per-instance basis. All new HttpsURLConnection
s instances
will be assigned
the "default" static values at instance creation, but they can be overriden
by calling the appropriate per-instance set method(s) before
connect
ing.

HostnameVerifier hostnameVerifier
The hostnameVerifier
for this object.
HttpsURLConnection (URL url)
Creates an HttpsURLConnection
using the
URL specified.
Parameters | |
---|---|
url |
URL :
the URL
|
String getCipherSuite ()
Returns the cipher suite in use on this connection.
Returns | |
---|---|
String |
the cipher suite |
Throws | |
---|---|
IllegalStateException |
if this method is called before the connection has been established. |
HostnameVerifier getDefaultHostnameVerifier ()
Gets the default HostnameVerifier
that is inherited
by new instances of this class.
Returns | |
---|---|
HostnameVerifier |
the default host name verifier |
SSLSocketFactory getDefaultSSLSocketFactory ()
Gets the default static SSLSocketFactory
that is
inherited by new instances of this class.
The socket factories are used when creating sockets for secure https URL connections.
Returns | |
---|---|
SSLSocketFactory |
the default SSLSocketFactory |
HostnameVerifier getHostnameVerifier ()
Gets the HostnameVerifier
in place on this instance.
Returns | |
---|---|
HostnameVerifier |
the host name verifier |
Certificate[] getLocalCertificates ()
Returns the certificate(s) that were sent to the server during handshaking.
Note: This method is useful only when using certificate-based cipher suites.
When multiple certificates are available for use in a handshake, the implementation chooses what it considers the "best" certificate chain available, and transmits that to the other side. This method allows the caller to know which certificate chain was actually sent.
Returns | |
---|---|
Certificate[] |
an ordered array of certificates, with the client's own certificate first followed by any certificate authorities. If no certificates were sent, then null is returned. |
Throws | |
---|---|
IllegalStateException |
if this method is called before the connection has been established. |
See also:
Principal getLocalPrincipal ()
Returns the principal that was sent to the server during handshaking.
Note: Subclasses should override this method. If not overridden, it will default to returning the X500Principal of the end-entity certificate that was sent to the server for certificate-based ciphersuites or, return null for non-certificate based ciphersuites, such as Kerberos.
Returns | |
---|---|
Principal |
the principal sent to the server. Returns an X500Principal of the end-entity certificate for X509-based cipher suites, and KerberosPrincipal for Kerberos cipher suites. If no principal was sent, then null is returned. |
Throws | |
---|---|
IllegalStateException |
if this method is called before the connection has been established. |
See also:
Principal getPeerPrincipal ()
Returns the server's principal which was established as part of defining the session.
Note: Subclasses should override this method. If not overridden, it will default to returning the X500Principal of the server's end-entity certificate for certificate-based ciphersuites, or throw an SSLPeerUnverifiedException for non-certificate based ciphersuites, such as Kerberos.
Returns | |
---|---|
Principal |
the server's principal. Returns an X500Principal of the end-entity certiticate for X509-based cipher suites, and KerberosPrincipal for Kerberos cipher suites. |
Throws | |
---|---|
SSLPeerUnverifiedException |
if the peer was not verified |
IllegalStateException |
if this method is called before the connection has been established. |
SSLSocketFactory getSSLSocketFactory ()
Gets the SSL socket factory to be used when creating sockets for secure https URL connections.
Returns | |
---|---|
SSLSocketFactory |
the SSLSocketFactory |
See also:
Certificate[] getServerCertificates ()
Returns the server's certificate chain which was established as part of defining the session.
Note: This method can be used only when using certificate-based cipher suites; using it with non-certificate-based cipher suites, such as Kerberos, will throw an SSLPeerUnverifiedException.
Returns | |
---|---|
Certificate[] |
an ordered array of server certificates, with the peer's own certificate first followed by any certificate authorities. |
Throws | |
---|---|
SSLPeerUnverifiedException |
if the peer is not verified. |
IllegalStateException |
if this method is called before the connection has been established. |
See also:
void setDefaultHostnameVerifier (HostnameVerifier v)
Sets the default HostnameVerifier
inherited by a
new instance of this class.
If this method is not called, the default
HostnameVerifier
assumes the connection should not
be permitted.
Parameters | |
---|---|

HostnameVerifier :
the default host name verifier |
Throws | |
---|---|
IllegalArgumentException |
if the HostnameVerifier
parameter is null. |
SecurityException |

checkPermission method does not allow
SSLPermission("setHostnameVerifier") |
See also:
void setDefaultSSLSocketFactory (SSLSocketFactory sf)
Sets the default SSLSocketFactory
inherited by new
instances of this class.
The socket factories are used when creating sockets for secure https URL connections.
Parameters | |
---|---|
sf |
SSLSocketFactory :
the default SSL socket factory |
Throws | |
---|---|
IllegalArgumentException |
if the SSLSocketFactory parameter is null. |
SecurityException |
if a security manager exists and its
checkSetFactory method does not allow
a socket factory to be specified. |
See also:
void setHostnameVerifier (HostnameVerifier v)
Sets the HostnameVerifier
for this instance.
New instances of this class inherit the default static hostname
verifier set by setDefaultHostnameVerifier
. Calls to this method replace

.
Parameters | |
---|---|
v |
HostnameVerifier :
the host name verifier |
Throws | |
---|---|
IllegalArgumentException |
if the HostnameVerifier
parameter is null. |
