I am busy with a project where I have to do a GET on an exposed rest service using specific certificates. I am using the apache camel framework with the https4 component. I created a keystore and tested it using soapUI and it connected successfully, but I am however unable to connect through my project.

I used the following page as reference: http://camel.apache.org/http4.html

I set up the SSL for the HTTP Client through the following configuration:

 
    
        
    




      GET

My endpoint is configured as:
