Android :: HTTPS Authentication Over WiFi Using HttpClient 4
Jul 9, 2009
I have Android pet-project DroidIn which utilizes HttpClient 4 (built into Android) to do some form based authentication. I started noticing that people who are using WiFi are reporting connection problems. It also doesn't help that site I'm accessing has self-assigned certificate. Well - the question is (I'm quite vague on WiFi details) If WiFi at the hotspot doesn't support HTTPS would that be a good enough reason for connection to fail and is there anything that I can do beside proxying into another appserver using HTTP which then would call HTTPS site?

I'm new to implementing HTTPS connections in Android. Essentially, I'm trying to connect to a server using the org.apache.http.client.HttpClient. I believe, at some point, I'll need to access the application's keystore in order to authorize my client with a private key. But, for the moment, I'm just trying to connect and see what happens; I keep getting an HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request error.
I can't seem to make heads or tails of this despite many examples (none of them seem to work for me). My code looks like this (the BODY constant is XmlRPC):

I want to connect to a server using ssl/https connection. During handshake between client and the server, I want to have server certificate authentication as well as client certificate authentication. The server certificate authentication is successful. But I don't know how to send client certificate to server for authentication, during the handshake.

Basically what I need to do is to perform digest authentication. First thing I tried is the official example available here.
But when I try to execute it(with some small changes, Post instead of the the Get method) I get a
CODE:..................
When this failed I tried using:
CODE:.................
At first I have only overridden "realm" and "nonce" DigestScheme parameters. But it turned out that PHP script running on the server requires all other params, but no matter if I specify them or not DigestScheme doesn't generate them in the Authorization RequestPreperty when I call its authenticate() method. And PHP script returns HTTP response code 200 with a message that PHP script requires cnonce, nc and qop parameters.

Trying to get HTTPS working with the HttpClient. I can't seem to find an example anywhere that works for me. Basically, I want my client to accept any certificate (because I'm only ever pointing to one server) but I keep getting a javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Not trusted server certificate exception.
So this is what I have:
CODE:.............
And here's the error I'm getting:

Apparently looking back at other ksoap which isn't for android your ment to us a different call to connect via https, but i can't find a way to do it in the android version.

I am trying to get an image from a https url but it doesn't seem to display and get the image correctly but works fine on my computer browser. I have tested out a http url pointing to a different image and it works fine. My code is below:
public Bitmap getContactPhoto(String url) {
Bitmap pic = null; try { pic = BitmapFactory
.decodeStream((InputStream) new URL(
"https://mail.google.com/mail/photos/static/AD34hIjbK2m-Lj333E4nBcCkBC3MYl2tTs0xizuSqUOP3-Jd6DOrpFg1M5HG8jXh0MuPbeFepInZZDu92Dx8ST4b59EbOKmfYTortuuO3P1_Ohyu7b7a3gc")
.getContent()); } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } return pic; }
Here is the code from the activity class that calls the method above:
private ImageView mContactPhoto; private ContactDetailsViewHelper mViewHelper;
mContactPhoto = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.contact_photo);
mViewHelper = new ContactDetailsViewHelper(mContext);
mContactPhoto.setImageBitmap(mViewHelper.getContactPhoto(mDetail.getImageRef()));
ignore the mDetail.getImageRef, that passes the real url value but for this case I tried hard coding the url as you can see from the getContactPhoto method.

How to collect URLs of all http/https requests made by the phone as well as well as the return status code and user agent from the headers. This information should be coming for all browser requests and other applications too.Please let me know this information can be retrieved on App level or we have to go to system level for this.

I downloaded Android SDK when I run setup, it displays the following error message.
Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.

I'm creating an app for the Android platform which will connect with just one site using HTTPS. It is essential that it won't be able to connect to any other sites, even with valid SSL certificates. I want it to be resistant to every form redirection (for example to site pretending to be the one I need to connect with) or other "attacks". Unfortunately I cannot find any good tutorial about SSL in Android.Do you know any? I'd be grateful for some links or advices. Or maybe could you give me some code snippets? My app is prepared to use HttpURLConnection or HttpClient - it makes no difference which path will I choose.

I need to do is download some basic text-based and image files from a web server that has a self-signed SSL certificate. I have been trying to figure out how to use HttpClient to do this, but getting the SSL to work is a nightmare that seems to be way too much trouble for such a simple task. Is there a better way to perform these file downloads? Perhaps through a WebView or Browser feature? Reinventing the wheel of making a simple HTTPS GET request is a major pain, and is significantly holding up my development schedule.

So I have the following code.
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(4096);
while (true) { int i = in.read(); if (i == 0) break;
else if (i == -1) throw new EOFException();
sb.append((char)i); }
What I see (with thousands of times run) is that this code takes about 1ms for every 7-10 bytes read. So reading just 10k takes almost a second!

I'm trying to load https requests with a Webkit object but It shows only a blank page, with http requests I don't have problems, It shows the page correctly. I have look the source code of the browser, in http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Browser.git;a... but I don't understand how the browser process the https requests. I think that the class BrowserActivity process the http and https requests but I don't see how to do it. Somebody could explain how the browser process the https request? It uses a Webview object to show the response of the https requests?

I am trying to stream video over https from Android browser. If the video URL is http, everything works fine. But when I switch the url to https, no video can be played. I tried 2 methods to stream over http/ https through Android browser.
1. Use html5 Video tag on browser (Android 2.0+ device) and call video.play( ) from javascript. - With Https url. Browser launches media player and the player displays alert dialog saying "Can't play video". I captured the client TCP traffic and found no SSL handshake between client and server. It looks like the player pops up the alert on any https link. - With Http url. Browser launches media player and the player can stream the video successfully.
2. Use direct link of html <a> tag on browser and click the link - With Https url. Browser downloads the video file without launching the player. The browser seems not try to load any https link in media player. - With Http url. Browser launches media player and the player can stream the video successfully.
So the above tests make me think Android media player cannot play media from any https url.

I'm using ksoap over https to request data from a server. It works fine, but only every other time! Looking at the traffic with wire shark it seems that on every other request something goes wrong with the ssl traffic/handshake (data doesn't even get sent except for an fc-fault coming back). Doing the same requests using curl the server always responds fine and afaik the iPhone version of the program also doesn't seem to have any problems with the server.

In short, I am writing an Android application that I want to have pull data from a remote database. I was looking into .NET web services, but this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/297586/how-to-call-web-service-with-android question pointed me away from that direction.
Is REST as simple as writing some short PHP to handle something like https://www.example.com/data.php?employee=michael and have it return relevant XML or JSON data? That to me seems like what has been described to me by various sites and videos. Also, is this the best way to do this kind of operation over the internet for mobile devices, desktop applications, etc?

I haven't used the Java HttpClient before and the documentation is confusing. Say I want to send a POST to the URL "https://domain/foo/ bar". I'm accessing a server with an XML API that defines the message to send like this:
code:.........
And the response to expect like this:
code:..........
Now, I can build and parse the portion inside the serverapi tags but I'm not sure how the HttpClient handles the header. If I use the standard code like this:
code:...........
In the area shown as "not sure", should I pre-pend the entire header in front of the xml section, just as it's shown in the server API document or does the client take care of the first line, since it knows the URL?
Is there a way to see exactly what is about to be sent right before I call HttpClient.execute?
As for parsing the response, I believe I can just do this:
code:..........
Or do I need to strip anything off the response content before I start parsing the xml? I took a few stabs at this and it looks like there's some HTTP bookkeeping information at the start of the response content.

I'm writing a small application which needs httpclient lib, basically to manage the cookie/session automatically. The website I'm targeting needs a valid session, so, between each http call, I need to send the cookie. Httpclient does it well. This is a tv stream application and I have to fetch the channel url, the url has a token parameter and I have to be logged / authenticated / (=> have a valid cookie/sessionid) to fetch the channel url.
I got the first cookie/sessionid with the first connection to the website. The cookie is valid for a certain amount of time, there is no "expires" but I don't know if there is any server cron to cleanup the sessions. I assume I have to "ping" every x secondes to maintain the session valid.
Between each http call, the time could be from 1 sec to several minutes, it depends if the user wants to change the watched tv channel. The http call (to fetch the url) is not made by the UI Thread.
There are several possibilities to manage the httpclient : - a single httpclient static singleton instance accessed by a custom synchronized getClient() on an helper class => when / how to release the http connection ? How to handle that correctly if the user got a phone call / does not use the application for now (unvalidate during onResume, etc)? - Save the cookie (String serialized into SharedPreferences) and create every time a new httpclient instance (then set the cookie to the new instance) => overhead to get the http connection - other ?
