The same error is found while using HTTP Client 3.1.

My Environment Application Server : Websphere application server 6.1.0.23 Java : JDK 1.5.0.16

Solution

Actually a more complete answer than suppressingfire is

1. Add com.ibm.ws.admin.client_7.0.0.jar to java build

   This solves the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.ffdc.Manager error.

2. Add to setup:

   import java.security.Security;
   ...
   Security.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl");
   

   This solves the Cannot find the specified class com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLSocketFactory
