SSLHandshakeException for a simple GET request in Karate Framework - karate

Question

I am trying to setup Karate framework for my project. I am getting the following SSLHandshakeException for a simple GET request. I get a proper response when I try the endpoint in the browser, but when I try to run the cucumber feature file I am seeing the following error. I tried configure ssl = true, configure ssl = 'TLSv1.1', but seeing same error
10:35:28.886 [main] DEBUG

Answer 1

I followed the instructions for jdk8 in javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
I downloaded the mentioned jars (US_export_policy.jar, local_policy.jar) and copied them to {JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/security and then magic happens 👍
#Peter Thomas Thank you for your help in resolving this issue :)

You are using version 0.6.1 right, I really thought this was fixed. Would be great if you can help me figure what change to make. Here is the ticket that will give you all the info, including code changes: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/193
This should work: if you are using karate-apache switch to karate-jersey (or vice-versa) in your pom.xml - most likely it will work.
Worst case, you can set System properties so that the HTTP client will use a certificate you provide, this ticket can give you some hints: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/76
