SSLSocket

[elbarto]

Does anybody have a library for SSLSockets? Do you think it is difficult to make your own library for an inexperienced Java-Programmer to make a library using this class:

SSLSocket | Android Developers

 

[Erel]

Do you need to do anything special with the SSLSocket other than creating it?

It should be quite simple to add an InitializeSSL method to the Socket object which will create an SSLSocket instead of a standard one.

 

[elbarto]

That would be just what I need. No other special tricks. Would be fantastic if you could help me out with this in the Network Lib!

 

[Erel]

See the private message I sent you. Please reply here whether it worked.

 

[elbarto]

Thank you very much! I think now it works. 'Think' because I get an error:

LastException javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Not trusted server certificate

That should be a problem of the Server. Is there an easy way to avoid this in the Network Library?

 

[Erel]

Do you get this error when you try to connect?

Is this server public?

You can try to manually install the certificate on the device.

You can try to manually install the certificate on the device.

I get the error after a successfull connect. Here:

AsyncStreams1.Initialize(Socket1.InputStream, Socket1.OutputStream, "AsyncStreams1")

Yes, it is a public Server. The Admin sent me now an cacert.pem file. I will keep you informed if and how this worked.

 

[elbarto]

Until now I tried this:

RealmB's Android Certificate Installer

I was able to install the certificate to the AVD (2.2) but the error is still the same.

 

[elbarto]

Until now I did not find a solution for my problem ("Not trusted server certificate"). Could you add a method "InitializeSSLAcceptAll" like the one that exists in "HttpClient"? First to see if then everything else works with the SSLSocket.

 

[elbarto]

I solved this with a new library (SocketSSL) that for now works with a method "trustAllCerts". Maybe later I will try to find a different solution for that. If somebody is interested in this library just let me know.

 

[Erel]

Can you post the code of this library?

 

[elbarto]

Yes of course. Do you mean as an attachment in this thread or to you by private message?

 

[Erel]

As an attachment if possible. Thank you.

 

[elbarto]

OK, here it is. The usage is exactly the same as the Socket in the Network Library. I needed a slightly modified class for the AsyncStreams (AsyncStreamsSSL), because the Server was waiting for a "NewLine" (\n). Maybe this also can be done with the Standard AsyncStreams. Anyway, I was happy as they finally talked :icon_clap:.

 

[NeoTechni]

Is this a completed library or just the source for it?

Edit: ooo, its both

 

[NeoTechni]

Does this support TSL?

 

[NeoTechni]

I am getting this error:

You are doing network operations on the main thread which is not allowed in later versions of Android because it slows the GUI responsiveness. Looking at the SocketSSL.jar the AsyncStreamsSSL.Write2 is directly writing to the output stream, for some reason that I cannot comprehend, and that is what is causing the error.
Code:

aout.out.write("\n".getBytes());

Has it been fixed?

Hi Elbarto,

I have convert your library to B4J.
Is it also possible to ask the library a certificate.
At the moment this library accept all certificates.
I'm not so good in Java and hoop, that you or anyone can help in this.

Many thanks for help,
Swissmade

Does this support TSL?

Yes TLS

Hi Elbarto,

I probs being thick here, but when I do a basic project, I just getting lots of errors :

Sub Process_Globals
    Private fx As JFX
    Private MainForm As Form

    Dim AStreams As AsyncStreamsSSL
    Dim Socket1 As SocketSSL

End Sub

Sub AppStart (Form1 As Form, Args() As String)
    MainForm = Form1
    'MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Layout1") 'Load the layout file.
    MainForm.Show

    Socket1.Initialize("Socket1")

End Sub
Sub Socket1_Connected (Successful As Boolean)
    Log(Successful)
    If Successful = False Then
        Log(LastException.Message)
        Return
    End If
       
    AStreams.Initialize(Socket1.InputStream, Socket1.OutputStream, "AStreams")
    ConnectToServer
End Sub
Public Sub ConnectToServer
    Socket1.Connect("ssl-eu.astraweb.com" , 443, 20000)
End Sub
Sub AStreams_NewData (buffer() As Byte)
Dim msg As String

    msg = BytesToString(buffer, 0, buffer.Length, "WINDOWS-1252")
    Log(msg)   

End Sub

I've added the SocketSSL.xml and SocketSSL.jar to the Libraries folder, any idea's.

Thanks for taking the time to convert this, think a lot of people will be happy using your conversion.

Regards
