Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-01-26 09:16:02 EST 
If certificate authentication is used behind a proxy the keystore information is not available when the socket factory is created hence authentication fails. When HttpClient establishes the connection to the host PollingSslProtocolSocketFactory.createLayeredSocket() is invoked which does not receive an instance of HttpParams.

The work around is to configure the default keystore using system properties.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-01-26 09:31:33 EST 
I have filed an upstream bug here to clarify if an HttpParams parameter could be added: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1160. 

I'll set the default keystore in the test environment for now to make tests on the Eclipse.org Hudson pass.

Comment 3 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-02-09 16:31:07 EST 
This will be fixed in HttpClient 4.2. We'll need to wait for the upstream fix in order to address this.
