ssl - Java HttpsURLConnection and TLS 1.2 -

i read in article httpsurlconnection transparently negotiate ssl connection.

the official document says:

this class uses hostnameverifier , sslsocketfactory. there default implementations defined both classes. ^[1]

does mean once open connection with

httpscon = (httpsurlconnection) url.openconnection(); 

it ssl/tls encrypted without more hassle?

how can view , set tls version standard implementation? (should tls 1.2 java 8 , tls 1.0 java 7)

references

1. oracle corp. (2011). javax.net.ssl.httpsurlconnection. (javadoc)

you have create sslcontext set protocoll:

in java 1.8:

 sslcontext sc = sslcontext.getinstance("tlsv1.2");  // init sslcontext trustmanager[] , securerandom()  sc.init(null, trustcerts, new java.security.securerandom());  

in java 1.7:

 sslcontext sc = sslcontext.getinstance("tlsv1");  // init sslcontext trustmanager[] , securerandom()  sc.init(null, trustcerts, new java.security.securerandom()); 

then have set sslcontext httpsurlconnection:

httpscon.setsslsocketfactory(sc.getsocketfactory()); 

that should trick.
