使用X509TrustManager：checkServerTrusted的自签名证书验证

Question

X509TrustManager:checkServerTrusted , i use this api for validating certs obtained , the first time it throws an exception for a self signed cert. User is displayed with warning dialogue for that website. if the user continues and website is displayed.

Now i refresh that page again , and the same cert is validated using the same api , but here i do not see any exception , is the trust manager updated with this cert value? is this suppose to be the expected behavior

All this is being done in android environment

Answer 1

Sounds like you are using a WebView. In such a case the SSL connections are handled in a different way. If you want to implement a custom behavior for accepting self-signed SSl certificates you have to implement the interface android.webkit.SslErrorHandler and set it as SSLErrorHandler in your WebView class.
