Hi all, I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve the Socket (and therefore the SSLSession if using SSL) from a connection.
I noticed there is a protected getSocket() method in the HttpConnetion class, but since this method is protected and not public it is no good for me (or can I somehow make HttpClient use a custom HttpConnection object). The reason I ask is I want to monitor X509 Certificates used on the server side. I know it is much easier to do with a (custom- SSLSocketFactory and use SSLSockets from the socketfactory, but I need the proxy functionality build in HttpClient and it is not that easy to connect through a proxy that uses authentication if you stick with sockets (or at least not easy for me :-) ) any help would be appreciated. kind regards Guy
