How to set TLS version on apache HttpClient

The solution is:

SSLContext sslContext = SSLContexts.custom()    .useTLS()    .build();SSLConnectionSocketFactory f = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(    sslContext,    new String[]{"TLSv1", "TLSv1.1"},       null,    BROWSER_COMPATIBLE_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);httpClient = HttpClients.custom()    .setSSLSocketFactory(f)    .build();

This requires org.apache.httpcomponents.httpclient 4.3.x though.

This is how I got it working on httpClient 4.5 (as per Olive Tree request):

CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();credsProvider.setCredentials(        new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY_HOST, 443),        new UsernamePasswordCredentials(this.user, this.password));SSLContext sslContext = SSLContexts.createDefault();SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslsf = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext,        new String[]{"TLSv1", "TLSv1.1"},        null,        new NoopHostnameVerifier());CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()        .setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credsProvider)        .setSSLSocketFactory(sslsf)        .build();return httpclient;

HttpClient-4.5,Use TLSv1.2 ,You must code like this:

 //Set the https use TLSv1.2private static Registry<ConnectionSocketFactory> getRegistry() throws KeyManagementException, NoSuchAlgorithmException {    SSLContext sslContext = SSLContexts.custom().build();    SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslConnectionSocketFactory = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext,            new String[]{"TLSv1.2"}, null, SSLConnectionSocketFactory.getDefaultHostnameVerifier());    return RegistryBuilder.<ConnectionSocketFactory>create()            .register("http", PlainConnectionSocketFactory.getSocketFactory())            .register("https", sslConnectionSocketFactory)            .build();}public static void main(String... args) {    try {        //Set the https use TLSv1.2        PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager clientConnectionManager = new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager(getRegistry());        clientConnectionManager.setMaxTotal(100);        clientConnectionManager.setDefaultMaxPerRoute(20);        HttpClient client = HttpClients.custom().setConnectionManager(clientConnectionManager).build();        //Then you can do : client.execute(HttpGet or HttpPost);    } catch (KeyManagementException | NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {        e.printStackTrace();    }}
