Error connecting to HTTPS

[ma...@polaris.co.in]

Hi,

   Am getting an error, when I tried connecting the https server with the
below code. I am not using any certificate to contact the server. Am I
really need a certificate to connect to the server. Because, I have been
told, that I can communicate to this particular server without certificate.

try {

     URI uri = new URI("https://abc.bcd.net",true);
     MySSLSocketFactory sslSocketFactory = new MySSLSocketFactory();

     Protocol myhttps = new Protocol("https", sslSocketFactory, 443);

     HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();

     httpclient.getHostConfiguration().setHost("abc.bcd.net", 443,
myhttps);
     httpclient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy("proxyhost",8080);


     String host = uri.getHost();
     int port = uri.getPort();

     AuthScope authScope = new AuthScope(host, port);

     Credentials credential = new UsernamePasswordCredentials
("citimortgage","citimortgage");
     httpclient.getState().setProxyCredentials(authScope,credential);

     GetMethod httpget = new GetMethod("/");
     httpclient.executeMethod(httpget);

}catch(SSLException sslEX) {
     System.out.println("SSLException occured " + sslEX.getMessage());
     sslEX.printStackTrace();
}catch(HttpException ex) {
     System.out.println("HttpException occured " + ex.getMessage());
     ex.printStackTrace();
}catch (IOException ex) {
     System.out.println("IOException occured " + ex.getMessage());
     ex.printStackTrace();
}


Error
-----
org.apache.commons.httpclient.NoHttpResponseException: The server
abc.bcd.net failed to respond

Thanks in Advance,
Mani
