Hello all, I've noticed that when using Java and postgres-jdbc, setting ssl=false in Properties doesn't get read, and ssl=false and ssl=true both cause SSL to be tried. E.g: String url = "jdbc:postgresql://"+host+"/"+database; Properties props = new Properties(); props.setProperty("user", "blah"); props.setProperty("password", "blah"); props.setProperty("ssl", "false"); props.setProperty("sslfactory", "org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory"); Connection conn = null; conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props); causes it to throw: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: The server does not support SSL. (even though I've said not to try SSL). String url = "jdbc:postgresql://"+host+"/"+database; Properties props = new Properties(); props.setProperty("user", "blah"); props.setProperty("password", "blah"); // Don't even set these ones below, as they seem to make it try SSL regardless. // props.setProperty("ssl", "false"); // props.setProperty("sslfactory", "org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory"); Connection conn = null; conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props); works fine. Problem exists both with postgresql-8.2-505.jdbc3.jar and postgresql-8.2-507.jdbc3.jar C -- bash# Got root? Get root.
