The '*'s aren't really in your code, are they? > But always get the following exception > > java.net.UnknownHostException: example.microsoft.com > java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:177) > java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:519) > java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:469).... > > Any ideas? Yes. 1. Check the DNS settings of the machine. example.microsoft.com should be resolvable. 2. Connect to a server that presents a certificate to your client that matches the host's name or set a HostnameVerifier with a verify method that returns true for this connection. 3. Connect to a host that actually returns content and not only an error message. BTW: this has nothing to do with Tomcat.
