Question

I am trying to parse and manipulate HTML using jsoup. It is working perfectly fine for HTTP URLs but it’s throwing UnknownHostException if a HTTPS URL is used. Following is my code:

System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "192.168.0.1");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080");

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("https://www.google.com/").get();

I was rather expecting an exception related to SSL certificates but what could be the reason for UnknownHostException? Please note that the following code runs perfectly for http://www.google.com/

Check here, you need to specify the proxy for https in a seperate way.

System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", "your host");
System.setProperty("https.proxyPort", "your port");
