> I have code that continually executes an http get request to a web server that requires server side authentication.  I have the appropriate certificate in the truststore and generally, it executes without a problem.

> However, even after many successful requests, it can still get a javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException. I turned ssl debug on (-Djavax.net.debug=ssl) and noticed that this can occur if during the ssl handshake, it gets a "java.net.SocketException: Connection reset":

> The SSLPeerUnverifiedException is misleading since if an IOException occurs, I want to retry sending the request if it's not SSL related.  This makes it difficult in debugging the error and I would only know that it's not SSLPeerUnverifiedException if I set -Djavax.net.debug=ssl.
