Я использую класс HttpURLConnection для подключения к внешнему веб-сервису из eclipse, затем получаю сообщение об ошибке «Соединение отклонено»

public class TestConnection {


    static {
        //for localhost testing only
        javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(
            new javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier(){

                    public boolean verify(String hostname,
                                      javax.net.ssl.SSLSession sslSession) {
                        if (hostname.equals("localhost")) {
                            return true;
                        }
                        return false;
                    }
                });
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {




    HttpURLConnection urlConnection;
    try {
        //https get method with required parameters
    //  XMLHttpRequest s1 = new XMLHttpRequest ();
        urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) ((new URL("https://google.com").openConnection()));
        urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
        urlConnection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "");
        int HTTPS_RESPONSE_CODE = urlConnection.getResponseCode();

        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
        String inputLine;
        StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();

        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
            response.append(inputLine);
        }
        in.close();
        String HTTPS_RESULT=response.toString(); 
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    }

Но если я попытаюсь подключиться к тому же сайту через браузер, я смогу получить ответ от службы. Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать, если есть обходной путь?
