Hi Markus,

is the server using a self-signed certificate? If not, i.e. it's just =
good ol' https with a cert issued by a trusted CA, you should be fine =
using the build in java http client with https, something like=E2=80=A6

-----------------------

public static String post( final String url, final String requestBody ) =
throws IOException, InterruptedException {
	// Create a client (the client can be reused so for performance =
sensitive code, I wouldn't do this within the method)
	final HttpClient client =3D HttpClient
		.newBuilder()
		.build();

	// Construct a request to submit
	final HttpRequest request =3D HttpRequest
		.newBuilder()
		.uri( URI.create( url ) )
		.POST( BodyPublishers.ofString( requestBody, =
StandardCharsets.UTF_8 ) )
		.build();

	// Submit the request
	final HttpResponse<String> response =3D client.send( request, =
HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString( StandardCharsets.UTF_8 ) );
	return response.body();
}

Easy to create the xml but I am not quite sure about the SSL/TLS part.
