HttpClientHandler and HTTPS

[Darren Hobbs]

Hey folks,

If I want to set a custom SSLContext for HttpClientHandler to use (eg. with a client certificate), what's the best way to do it?

It seems that HttpClientHandler is loaded up in the CoreModule - I'd like to replace it with a different one for certain Modules, as I think I'm going to need to inject some code along the lines of:

if (connection instanceof HttpsURLConnection) {

  connection.setSSLSocketFactory(mySslSocketFactory);

}

Any hints would be appreciated!

Cheers,

-Darren

I would probably just new up a new instance with a new multi method defined on it that works with https connection.

I'll have a look later

This should work:

new ClientHttpHandler() {

@multimethod

private Response handle(Request request, HttpsURLConnection connection) throws IOException {

         // do some HTTPS stuff

         return handle(request, (HttpConnection) connection); // Carry on as normal

    }

}

You could obviously not make it anonymous and then inject different ones for each context

Yup multi method should do the trick.

Extend ClientHttpHandler add method called handl
