Eu tenho o código a seguir para conectar ao servidor com certificado autoassinado (eu uso esteresponda para a parte do keystore):

 try
 {
   final KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("BKS");
   final InputStream inputStream = getApplicationContext().getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.certs);
   ks.load(inputStream, getApplicationContext().getString(R.string.store_pass).toCharArray());
   inputStream.close();

   TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
   tmf.init(ks);

   SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
   context.init(null, tmf.getTrustManagers(), new SecureRandom());

   URL url = new URL("https://www.mywebsite.com/");
   HttpsURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
   urlConnection.setSSLSocketFactory(context.getSocketFactory());
   InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
 }
 catch(Exception e) {
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
   // the toast appear empty (described in question)
 }

Se eu usar o nome do meu site como:

 http://www.mywebsite.com 

então, na tentativa de captura ao redor, uma exceção é lançada:

 com.android.okhttp.internal.http.HttpURLConnectionImpl 
 cannot be cast to javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection

Se eu usar:

 https://www.mywebsite.com

ainda recebo uma exceção, mas devido a algum motivo, o objeto Exception 'e' emcatch(Exception e) tem uma mensagem vazia (não é nula), então não consigo descobrir a exceção.

Se eu tentar usar:

 Log.d("TEST", e.getMessage());

então eu recebo:

 java.lang.NullPointerException: println needs a message

Alguém pode apontar o que estou fazendo de errado?

Editar:

Aqui está a saída de e.printStackTrace ()
