Thanks.  For completeness, here's how to create a socket factory which
uses an anything-goes trust manager:

    public SSLSocketFactory getSocketFactory() throws Exception {
	final SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
	context.init(null, new X509TrustManager[] {
		new X509TrustManager() {
		    @Override
		    public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0,
			    String arg1) throws CertificateException {
		    }

		    @Override
		    public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0,
			    String arg1) throws CertificateException {
		    }

		    @Override
		    public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
			return null;
		    }

		}}, null);
	return context.getSocketFactory();
    }

This could be added as a convenience method.
