[Htmlunit-user] How secure is to send data via htmlunit

[Ashutosh S. <ash...@gm...>]

I am using htmlunit for setting up data into the user's profile at one of
the website.
In my code:
webClient.getOptions().setUseInsecureSSL(false);
And also using the certificate from the provider like this:
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:\\Program
Files\\OracleJDK16_30b64\\jre\\lib\\security\\cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "changeit");
//setup certURL
webClient.getOptions().setSSLClientCertificate(certURL, "changeit",
"JKS");//"jks" or "pkcs12".

I just want one way authentication when i am sending the data to setup in
the user's profile.So from my webserver to the target site - the data that
is being tranversed is sage.
How secure is this approach?
Can Man in the middle and eavesdropping kind of  attack can happen enroute?
I dont want the user profile related data that is submitted from my
application to be compromised.

I am trying to find that out.
I am going to use this behind the company's firewall
I am using htmlunit-2.14 with JDK1.6.x

I tried http post kind of approach:
URL url1 = new URL("some url");
         WebRequest request1 = new WebRequest(url1,HttpMethod.POST);
         HtmlPage pageTwo = webClient.getPage(request1);

But this code(HTTP POST) doesn't work with the target website where we need
to setup the CC.

Any suggestions or pointers?
Thanks in advance.
