Apache oltu oauth2 ask token over SSL

Is there a way to request an access token over SSL using Apache oltu? It works great if I don't use https (port 8443) but just use http...

The code I have:

OAuthClient oAuthClient = new OAuthClient(new URLConnectionClient());

OAuthClientRequest request = OAuthClientRequest.tokenLocation(MessageFormat.format("https://{0}:8443/applicationId/oauth/token", host)) //
        .setGrantType(GrantType.PASSWORD) //
        .setUsername("username") //
        .setPassword("password") //
        .setClientId("clientId") //
        .buildBodyMessage();

OAuthAccessTokenResponse oAuthResponse = oAuthClient.accessToken(request);

I get following exception message:

    org.apache.oltu.oauth2.common.exception.OAuthSystemException: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: No name matching localhost found
at org.apache.oltu.oauth2.client.URLConnectionClient.execute(URLConnectionClient.java:108)
at org.apache.oltu.oauth2.client.OAuthClient.accessToken(OAuthClient.java:65)
at org.apache.oltu.oauth2.client.OAuthClient.accessToken(OAuthClient.java:55)
at org.apache.oltu.oauth2.client.OAuthClient.accessToken(OAuthClient.java:71)

I know there is this way to fix this by overwriting the HostnameVerifier of the HttpsURLConnection, but is there a way to achieve this in apache oltu?:

static {
    //for localhost testing only
    javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(
    new javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier(){

        public boolean verify(String hostname,
                javax.net.ssl.SSLSession sslSession) {
            if (hostname.equals("localhost")) {
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });
}

URLConnectionClient uses HttpsURLConnection so your code should work; have you tried?
