Why is only TLS supported, and not SSL on the Android platform?
SSLContext.getInstance("SSL") throws java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException
TLS is ok, but I need to use SSL
What do you do if you need to use SSL?
Hi Dave,
i have a server that only supports SSL, and using TLS from the Android client does not work.
I was reading there is a difference in handshake, and although TLS is is based off of SSL3.0, TLS and SSL are not compatible
Thanks

You should "Request Attention" above and get the SSL and Java zones added to your question.

Hi Dave,
>Secure Socket abstraction based on the SSL protocol SSSLv3.0 or TLSv1.2
I did read that, that why I was surprised that SSLContext.getInstance("SSL") does not work..
Hi dejanpazin,
No error output, it hangs on the read.

I think your right.. without upgrading the server to TLS1.2, there isn't much i can do form the client side.
Thanks Dave!

Thanks, sorry it didn't work but some people refuse to upgrade their servers.
