to rest-client

Hi,

I really like the rest-client and would like to contribute some code
to it.

I am using it to talk to a secure REST service over HTTPS,
authenticating based the server certificate being in my truststore and
on a valid client cert being supplied in the key store. I was unable
to do this in the 2.3 version of rest-client as the code currently
treats the Trust Store and Key Store as the same thing, which is not
always the case.

To do this, I have made changes to to restclient-lib and restclient-ui
to allow keystore and truststore to both be specified along with
different passwords for each, if keystore is unspecified it defaults
to the current behaviour, otherwise it passes the truststore, keystore
and the keystore password to the SSLSocketFactory via the constructor.
Over the weekend I am also planning to add select options to choose
truststore and keystore types (PKCS12 etc..), rather than just using
the default.

So, how can I get involved and submit my changes for review?

Thanks!

Great work!

Can you create a issue and post the code as patch? I will do a merge and try it out.

Regards,

Subhash.
