Https returns 404 with DefaultHttpClient on Android?

Question

I have an http request that worked as http://blah.com and now I have been asked to use https://blah.com

The former works and the later fails with a Network I/O error. Are there any missing parameter settings that I need for the client?

The URL request:

D/MyAppWebservice(23142): http-transform :) [https://cdp.mobibob.com:8151/DoTransaction]

Following is the log:

E/MyAppContentProvider(23142): com.mobibob.myapp.MyAppExceptions$ParseException: Network or I/O error calling web service.

Https almost always implies a different port being used (standard http=>80; standard https=>443). You have a hardcoded port (8151). I'm guessing the https servlet is listening on a different port.

Or you're trying to connect to a server that doesn't support https.
