I want to perform a GET request to a HTTPS site in the playframework (2.4.8) with the following code:
val httpClient = new NingWSClient(new AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder().build())
val request = httpClient
.url("https://example.com")
.get()
val response = Await.result(request, FiniteDuration(120, TimeUnit.SECONDS))
This code works for HTTP sites but will result in this error with HTTPS sites:

I guess that this has something to do with the SSL certificate because setting setAcceptAnyCertificate = true doing the following works:
val httpClient = new NingWSClient(new AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder().setAcceptAnyCertificate(true).build())
Which is no option for me because not verifying SSL certificates might result in some security related issues later. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there some additional configuration needed to make a request to a HTTPS site?
