Re: How to add a ssl server cert for groovy?

Hi David,

Groovy sits on top of the JDK, so if you install cacerts into the JDK
you are using, then Groovy should use them just fine.

Possibly there could be issues depending on what client library you
are using to make the https connection.

Cheers, Paul.

I want to test some code in groovyConsole before I try to run it on our CI server. For many things, this works fine. However, I'm trying to iterate on some code that makes a https connection, and I'm getting an error in groovyConsole that I believe is the same error I get when the server cert is missing ("PKIX path building failed"), which isn't surprising because I never installed the root cert in the Groovy distribution.
