通过http prxoy使用twitter4j连接到Twitter流

Question

I tried to connect to Twitter Streaming API using twitter4j through goagent . But when I ran the sample code, I got this error:

It seems that I miss some SSL certificates. And I have imported goagent CA into Java, the errors are gone but I still cannot connect to Streaming API and only get time out. I don't know how to solve this problem.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

As far as I remember you have to install the certificate of twitter on your JVM.

First you should download the certificate of twitter. Use browser to go to twitter. Then it depends on your browser. For example in Chrome click on lock icon left to the https:... , choose Connection tab, then click "Certificate information", choose "Details" tab and press "Export" button.

Once you have the certificate you should install it on your jvm using keytool : http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/1.4/tutorial/doc/Security6.html

I hope this will help you.
