Hi everybody,
I am trying to create a Java text-based web browser in order to access
a specific Apache web server. However, I am having the folowing error:

I have tried adding the certificate of the website into Java's
/jre/lib/security/cacerts directory; yet it would still not work.
Is there anyway that I could bypass this certificate checking process
from the client side?
I understand that this post would be close to being off topic since it
is mostly java-related, but any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Linh Ngo
