Scala: How to ignore 'SSLHandshakeException'

With such code:

val html = Source.fromURL("https://scans.io/json")

Getting exception:

Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192)
at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.fatal(SSLSocketImpl.java:1886)
...

I can find how to fix in Java but have no idea - how to fix it in Scala?

You can achieve this by configuring a SSLContext.

Here is a working code

import javax.net.ssl._
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate
import scala.io.Source

// Bypasses both client and server validation.
object TrustAll extends X509TrustManager {
  val getAcceptedIssuers = null

  override def checkClientTrusted(x509Certificates: Array[X509Certificate], s: String) = {}

  override def checkServerTrusted(x509Certificates: Array[X509Certificate], s: String) = {}
}

// Verifies all host names by simply returning true.
object VerifiesAllHostNames extends HostnameVerifier {
  def verify(s: String, sslSession: SSLSession) = true
}

// Main class
object Test extends App {
  // SSL Context initialization and configuration
  val sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL")
  sslContext.init(null, Array(TrustAll), new java.security.SecureRandom())
  HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sslContext.getSocketFactory)
  HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(VerifiesAllHostNames)
  
  // Actual call
  val html = Source.fromURL("https://scans.io/json")
  println(html.mkString)
}

How it works

Source.fromURL uses java.net.HttpURLConnection behind the scene. So this code simply works because TrustAll bypasses checkClientTrusted and checkServerTrusted methods.
