Is there a way to force SSLv3 for a vertx httpclient?

[Carter Youngblood]

I have a odd case where after a few hundred requests to an external API, I get the following error.

After talking to the API creators, they say to try to force to use SSLv3 for the client.

SEVERE: Error in request to Klipfolio.

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Failed to create SSL connection

Is there anyway to set the context of the SSL connection to use TLS?

I can try to create a simple example, the problem is the credentials to the API.

Any help/thoughts would be great.

I have tried to add -Dforce.http.jre.executor=true and -Dhttps.protocols=SSLv3
