Thread: Java HttpsURLConnection SSLSocketFactory timeout with trustAllCerts

Using Method-1 to connect works, it trusts all certificates, even self signed certs, but the timeout does not work as well as Method-2

But when I use Method-2, not all certs are trusted and it fails for self signed certs. I understand that this is because in Method-2 I did not use my sslSocfactory which incorporates my trustAllCerts. I can't figure out how to incorporate my sslSocfactory into Method-2. I've tried a few way but the compile fails.

//=== my code ===========
SSLSocket socket = null;
SSLContext sc = null;
sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.g etSocketFactory());
SSLSocketFactory sslSocfactory = HttpsURLConnection.getDefaultSSLSocketFactory();

//--- Method-1 connection -----
socket = (SSLSocket)sslSocfactory.createSocket(host, port);
socket.setSoTimeout(timeout);

//--- Method-2 connection -----
socket = (SSLSocket)SSLSocketFactory.getDefault().createSoc ket();
socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port), timeout); //- This is the timeout that works for my situation
socket.setSoTimeout(timeout);

I thought the connection was free. You have to buy the certificates? When hooking up the URL sockets connections. Who do you guys pay? What vendor or company? The router I have or use is Gateway. Hawai'i. I think it's certificates are from the University of Hawai'i. Because it is their network.
