Java Programming

Hi,

I am getting the following error, when i connect to a URL using proxy:

Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

The URL does use a digital certificate , but i do not have it yet, just want to confirm that the error above it b;cos of the missing certificate, or is there any other issue
