In your case, the below code should work:
ApacheHttpClient client = ApacheHttpClient.create();
HttpClient httpClient = client.getClientHandler().getHttpClient();
Protocol authhttps = new Protocol("https", new
EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory(), 4463);
Protocol.registerProtocol("https", authhttps);
httpClient.getHostConfiguration().setHost("localhost", 4463,
authhttps);
