Description

Hi,
My project needs to access a 2-way SSL WebService.
I am configuring WebSphere Application Server's (WAS) signer certificate to setup the trust between my application's server and the external server hosting the webservice.
With HttpClient 4.0, I am successfully able to connect to the WebService and I get the expected response.
When I change the HttpClient to 4.2.5, the server returns a 500 response. For the code to work on new API, I have to write the code to use WAS alias, which I do not want to do.
I expected the new version to work the same way as the old one. I am not sure what has changed with this new version. Please help.
