Make a Web Request: SSL Handshake Error


#1

When trying to make a web request the connection can’t be established, with error reported:

+111ms 	║║Sending external web request to: api.ciscospark.com/v1/messages
+336ms 	║║Error executing external web request: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake

The last section on the API developer reference suggests SSL connection errors are caused by the client not supporting Server Name Indication (SNI) and goes on to list the versions of common languages and libraries that support it. Java 7 being one of them.

Does WebCore support SNI? If not, could it? Am I way off and there’s something else preventing an SSL connection to api.ciscospark.com? Browsers and my python apps can use the api.

thanks
