Outgoing Secure Socket Connection

We showed you how to make an Outgoing HTTP Request. If you would like to make a secure connection you need only add a single line of code.

        dataSocket.setSecure(true);

Here I will securely connect from my development JNIOR to the external HoneyPot JNIOR. From the example in the other topic I have modified the host and the request to attempt to access the JNIOR.

package jtest;
 
import com.integpg.system.Debug;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.net.Socket;
 
public class Main {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 
        // Location services
        String serverHostname = "50.197.34.75";
        int port = 443;
 
        // Establish a Socket, get streams, and set a timeout
        Socket dataSocket = new Socket(serverHostname, port);
        DataOutputStream sockout = new DataOutputStream(dataSocket.getOutputStream());
        DataInputStream sockin = new DataInputStream(dataSocket.getInputStream());
        dataSocket.setSoTimeout(5000);
        
        // Negotiate a secure connection
        dataSocket.setSecure(true);
 
        // Issue the HTTP request
        sockout.writeBytes("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n");
        sockout.writeBytes("Host: " + serverHostname + "\r\n");
        sockout.writeBytes("\r\n");
 
        // Process the response header
        int length = 0;
        String response;
        while ((response = sockin.readLine()) != null) {
            
            // Header ends with blank line
            if (response.length() == 0)
                    break;
            
            System.out.println(response);
            if (response.startsWith("Content-Length: ")) 
                length = Integer.parseInt(response.substring(16));
        }
        System.out.println();
 
        // Obtain the entire response (if any)
        response = "";
        if (length > 2) {
            byte[] resp = new byte[length];
            sockin.readFully(resp);
            response = new String(resp, "UTF8");
        }
 
        // Data (should be JSON)
        Debug.dump(response.getBytes());
 
        // Close the Socket
        sockout.close();
        sockin.close();
        dataSocket.close();
    }
        
}

So we get the response expected. But was it done securely? Here’s the transaction from the Wireshark point of view.
