Send HTTPS Post Request to the server
<p>This is my HTTP JSON</p>

<pre><code> {  
 "User": {    
    "Name": "Compulsary","Password": "Compulsary"  }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Which I have to post to the server using HTTPS POST request.
When I try to send the request, I get SSL Server Certificate Exception.
How can I fix this issue ?</p>

<p>What I have tried ?</p>

<p>I have tried using <code>HTTPPost</code> with <code>HTTPClient</code>. SSL Exception.
I also tried using <code>URLConnection</code> and ignored the checking of SSL Certificates.
I am getting 401 and 405 response codes.</p>

How to achieve this in android ?</p>
