Hi, folks,

https://www.denix.osd.mil/  has a suspicious certificate, but I want
it to get past my link checker program all the same.  I suppose I
could just allow an SSLHandshakeException "pass" the link checker
test, or I could have it ignore this URL altogether, but is there a
way that I can accept the certificate in this case, preferably from
the command line?

Example code and stack trace follow.

TIA,
Jim

import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

public class TestHttps {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URI uri=new URI("https://www.denix.osd.mil/");
URL url=uri.toURL();
URLConnection conn=url.openConnection();
conn.connect(); // exception here
}
}
