在java 1.6版本中，通过HttpsURLConnection请求class 1（多发生于免费ssl证书，比如沃通或者startssl的）的https网络地址时，可能会报握手异常：
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
- Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

可以做如下尝试：
/*
* 在java1.6中，进行https的请求会提示 Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
* 的握手失败的异常，网上的资料说这是个bug
* 参考此贴http://www.coderanch.com/t/637177/Security/Disabling-handshake-message-Java 按照楼主处理， 把协议版本临时修改，再恢复的方式绕过了此bug
*/
String defaultValue = System.getProperty("https.protocols");
System.setProperty("https.protocols", "TLSv1");
String response = CommonUtils.getResponseFromServer(url, "utf-8");//请求https地址
log.debug("用户登陆过程正常:获得响应为" + response); if (defaultValue != null) {
System.setProperty("https.protocols", defaultValue);
} else {
System.clearProperty("https.protocols");
}
