How do I perform an HTTP request and sign it with a X.509 certificate using Java?
I usually program in C#. Now, what I would like to do is something similar to the following, only in Java:
private HttpWebRequest CreateRequest(Uri uri, X509Certificate2 cert)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(uri);
request.ClientCertificates.Add(cert);
/* ... */
return request;
}
In Java I have created a java.security.cert.X509Certificate instance but I cannot figure out how to associate it to a HTTP request. I can create a HTTP request using a java.net.URL instance, but I don't seem to be able to associate my certificate with that instance (and I'm not sure whether using java.net.URL is even appropriate).
