Hello,

I have a task triggered at regular intervals, few times per day.

That task calls IFTTT "Maker" channel API using an "HTTT Post" action.
It works smoothly most of the time, then, all of a sudden, the "post" action begins to fail fail, giving the following error displayed in a tasker toast message:

Input/Output error for https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/<even_name_here>/with/key/<my_key_here>

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:
Handshake failed

When it has started to fails, it then fails *each time* it's called.
The first way I've found to have it works again, is to reboot the phone (power off then on). Note that stopping/restarting Tasker itself only did'nt fix the issue.

It seem to stay working not more that one or two days maximum.

Another workaround I've found is by using plain http in place of https, but I'm not sure, since IFTT online help only mention https (encrypted) transport in it's examples, I'm afraid that unencrypted access could became unsupported one day or another without notice.

That's why I'm looking for a way to make it works while keeping SSL transport.
