I am using java to read from a webpage using this code:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class URLReader {
public static void main(String[] args)  throws Exception {

    URL oracle = new URL("http://www.example.com/");
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(oracle.openStream()));

    String inputLine;
    while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
        System.out.println(inputLine);
    in.close();
}
}

When I run the code with eclipse on my windows pc it works fine, but when I try to run it on my raspberry pi, I get this error:

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

I think it means java doesn’t trust the website, but I can’t find a solution anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • If the website uses https:// then does it have a valid publicly signed certificate or something that's self-signed? Is the root ca cert installed on your RPi? Is the server certificate trusted? Have you looked at Certbot to get a free (no charge) publicly valid certificate? Commented Feb 3, 2019 at 21:34
  • Sorry if this is a noob question, but how would I go about installing the root ca cert on my pi? Commented Feb 3, 2019 at 22:26
