@HttpsClient

The @HttpsClient simplifies HTTPS requests by injecting a HttpClient instance with a configured KeyStore, TrustStore and Hostname Verification.

All parameters are optionals.

Usage examples

Mutual SSL authentication (two-way authentication)

Here is the complete form if you want to achieve Client Auth:

@HttpsClient(trustStore=R.raw.cacerts, 
    trustStorePwd="changeit",
    keyStore=R.raw.client,
    keyStorePwd="secret",
    allowAllHostnames=false)
HttpClient httpsClient;

• trustStore: int, Resource id of your trust store file ex R.raw.cacerts.bks Typically your servers trusted certificates (public key, Root Chain Authority etc)

• trustStorePwd: String, Your TrustStore password (default is changeit)

• keyStore: int, Resource id of your keystore Usually your private key (client certificate)

• keyStorePwd: Your KeyStore password (default is changeit)

• allowAllHostnames: boolean, if true, authorizes any TLS/SSL hostname (default true) If false, Hostname in certificate (DN) must match the URL

Note: Prior to ICS, Android accept [Key|Trust]store only in BKS format (Bouncycastle Key Store)

A simple SSL authentication

This is useful if your remote server use a selfsigned certificate or a certificate issued by a private certificate authority

@HttpsClient(trustStore=R.raw.mycacerts, 
    trustStorePwd="changeit")
HttpClient httpsClient;

Default

If you do not specify a truststore file, the annotation will use the default android truststore located at /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks which allows you to connect to a server signed with one of the trusted root CAs (Thawte, verisign etc.)

@HttpsClient
HttpClient httpsClient;

Complete Example

@EActivity
public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    @HttpsClient(trustStore=R.raw.cacerts,
        trustStorePwd="changeit", 
        hostnameVerif=true)
    HttpClient httpsClient;
        
    @AfterInject
    @Background
    public void securedRequest() {
        try {
            HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("https://www.verisign.com/");
            HttpResponse response = httpsClient.execute(httpget);
            doSomethingWithResponse(response);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    
    @UiThread
    public void doSomethingWithResponse(HttpResponse resp) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "HTTP status " + resp.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
