Custom SSL handling stopped working on Android 2.2 FroYo

by

Here is the answer, with many, many thanks to a helpful Seesmic developer willing to share the fix:

In the custom socket factory, the socket creation (with createSocket) has apparently been changed specifically for the SSLSocketFactory implementation. So the old:

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(Socket socket, String host, int port, boolean autoClose)
                    throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
            return getSSLContext().getSocketFactory().createSocket();
    }

Needs to be changed to:

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(Socket socket, String host, int port, boolean autoClose)
                    throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
            return getSSLContext().getSocketFactory().createSocket(socket, host, port, autoClose);
    }

And then it worked again for me!

UPDATE: As this is still a popular answer, let me update my link to working code. This SSl-enabled socket factory that support modern protocols (TLS 1.1+), SNI and optionally allows to accept all certificates (insecure, ignores all SSL certificates) or a self-signed certificates (by SHA-1 hash).
