SSLException: HelloRequest followed by an unexpected handshake message
- by mseebach
I'm trying to connect to a webservice over SSL using Apache Commons HttpClient 3.1, using this:
String url = "https://archprod.service.eogs.dk/cvronline/esb/LegalUnitGetSSLServicePort";
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(url);
StringRequestEntity entity = new StringRequestEntity(requestXml, "application/soap+xml", "utf-8");
post.setRequestEntity(entity);
client.executeMethod(post);
String response = post.getResponseBodyAsString();
And I get this exception:
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: HelloRequest followed by an unexpected handshake message

A request to the same URL on the same machine, using curl, works fine - and if I change the URL to e.g. https://www.verisign.com, it works fine in Java, too. So it appears to be the specific combination of Java and that host, not a general problem.
Ubuntu 10.04 beta, Sun JDK 1.6.0_19 (same problem in Ubuntu's bundled OpenJDK 6b18~pre4).
Any ideas what's going wrong? Thanks!
