RESTful call to HTTPS server from java client

I have configured a Bobcat server on my local machine that listens to HTTP and HTTPS requests on ports 8000 and 8001 respectively.

While I can call a RESTful service using HTTP from a Java client - 

URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8000/helloworld");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

I am not able to call the same service on port 8001, using HttpsURLConnection objects. Do I need to configure SSL or get security certificates or something?

My main motive is to work on the RESTful service, I'm using a web client (JSP) to simply test the service. Can someone help me call the service endpoint using HTTPS?

Thanks.

You can use RESTClient plugin on Firefox for testing it. It allows you to make all GET,POST requests to an endpoint.

Download Link : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/restclient/

Similar plugins are available for other browsers as well. I have tried :

Advanced Rest Client : Google Chrome
