How to disable SSLv3 in Jsoup android? (javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException)


I've got this error while trying to connect to prozis.com website through Jsoup in android 4.2.2, but failing because the site only accepts TLS 1.2. I've done some reading and I found it's a problem with the SSLv3 protocol not being enabled by default in this version of android. But as I'm using Jsoup, I can't extend the main class and use a custom SSLSocketFactory class. Is there some other way to disable SSLv3 or force TLS1.x in android 4?

String url;
@Override
protected Document doInBackground(String... params) {
    this.url = params[0];
    Document resultDocument = null;
    try {
        resultDocument = Jsoup
                .connect(url)
                .validateTLSCertificates(false)
                .userAgent(userAgent)
                .timeout(NET_TIMEOUT)
                .maxBodySize(0) //sem limite de tamanho do doc recebido
                .get();

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return resultDocument;

Solution

  • Found out how to make this work using NetCipher library. Answer from another question answered by Hans-Christoph Steiner: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32466614/6723008

    In the build.gradle (app module) file include the NetCipher compile dependency, latest version is 1.2:

    compile 'info.guardianproject.netcipher:netcipher:1.2'
    

    (Or you can download the netcipher-1.2.jar and include it directly in your app.)

    Usage:

    HttpsURLConnection netCipherconnection = NetCipher.getHttpsURLConnection(url);
    netCipherconnection.connect();
    
    BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(netCipherconnection.getInputStream()));
    StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    String stringHTML;
    while ((stringHTML = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
        stringBuilder.append(stringHTML);
    bufferedReader.close();
    Document resultDocument = Jsoup.parse(String.valueOf(stringBuilder));
