Apache HttpClient TLS SSL Example

I am trying to figure out how to log into a webpage using the apache HttpClient. The page is using ssl TLSv1 handshake protocal. And I have username and password for access credentials. I have been reading a bunch of stuff online but I am missing something. Could someone with experience with possibly break down exactly what I need to configure the client to do. I have read that an SSL socket must be setup and I have gotten close to getting it configured correctly but I was getting a SSLv2 handshake protocol.

Also I am not sure if this handshake is failing. I could just simply be not retaining the session information between calls properly. So any help on that would also be appreciated.

    <form name="loginuserform" method="post" action="https://www.site.com/login" id="login_form">
    <div id="loginFields">
        <div class="left_input" id="email_input">
            <input id="emailInput" type="text" name="email" tabindex="1" value="">
        </div>
        <div class="left_input" id="password_input">
            <span class="labelStyle">Password</span>
            <input type="password" name="password" tabindex="2">
        </div>
        <div class="left_input">
            <input type="submit" class="primaryActionButton" value="Sign In" tabindex="3">
        </div>
    </div>

</form>

Could you explain more on how we I could respond to this form.

Its on the HttpClient site. Its prety simple. You need to provide your SSL socket factory and set the configuration required for the SSL factory like - keystore path and access pwd etc through the system properties. For using the socket factory, check below.

Protocol myhttps = new Protocol("https", new MySSLSocketFactory(), 443);
HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
httpclient.getHostConfiguration().setHost("www.whatever.com", 443, myhttps);
GetMethod httpget = new GetMethod("/");
try {
  httpclient.executeMethod(httpget);
  System.out.println(httpget.getStatusLine());
} finally {
  httpget.releaseConnection();
}
