Previously, I used custom TrustManager talked about here to do this
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();MyXMLHandler mHandler = new MyXMLHandler();xr.setContentHandler(mHandler);xr.parse(new InputSource(buildUrlString()));(where buildUrlString() returns a string containing the https:// url to call) which works fine. However, I want to now be able to send the same url an Accept-Encoding header for gzip compression. I can do that like this
HttpUriRequest request = new HttpGet(buildUrlString());request.addHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip");HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);InputStream instream = response.getEntity().getContent();Header contentEncoding = response.getFirstHeader("Content-Encoding");if ((contentEncoding != null)&& contentEncoding.getValue().equalsIgnoreCase("gzip")) { instream = new GZIPInputStream(instream);} xr.parse(new InputSource(instream));but that brings back the "Not trusted server certificate" error that I want to ignore. How do I make it do HTTPS? Alternatively, is there a better way to do this? (And is there something I need to check first to make sure the phone really can accept the gzipped webpages that I'm saying it can?)
