The library doesn't work if SSL is used with a properly signed certificate.

If I use https then I get a scheme is not registered error because the only way to add https as a permitted scheme is through use of a self-signed certificate. It would be better if there was an option that allowed the use of https (and then trusted a self-signed certificate if one was present).

Hello,

Yes your explanation makes sense. Let us have a look in order to reproduce
and fix if need be.

You can see the limitation in the RClientImpl.java. I cannot get https registered as a scheme unless I go via the self-signed route. I tried setting the flag but it didn't help. Cheers, Wayne.

    SchemeRegistry schemeRegistry = new SchemeRegistry();
    schemeRegistry.register(
        new Scheme("http", PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80));

    if(allowSelfSignedSSLCert) {

...
}

BTW We are using RServer in the cloud motivating the use of https. Our self-signed certificate didn't work so we were forced to use a real certificate. The issue we have now is that it doesn't work either. I will hack a solution for now within the RClientImpl.java file but it would be good if it was resolved in the future. Https needs to be supported in general.

I added the following line to the code above.
schemeRegistry.register(new Scheme("https", SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 443));

The POST works for submitting a task but I cannot get the result of the computation for similar reasons. I have put it in the too hard basket for now.
