解决办法：借用工具类：

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

import java.security.cert.CertificateException;
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate;
import javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier;
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLSession;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManager;
import javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager;

public class SslUtils {
    private static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SslUtils.class);
    private static void trustAllHttpsCertificates() throws Exception {
        TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[1];
        TrustManager tm = new miTM();
        trustAllCerts[0] = tm;
        SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
        sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, null);
        HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
    }

    static class miTM implements TrustManager, X509TrustManager {
        public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
            return null;
        }

        public boolean isServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs) {
            return true;
        }

        public boolean isClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs) {
            return true;
        }

        public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType)
                throws CertificateException {
            return;
        }

        public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType)
                throws CertificateException {
            return;
        }
    }

    /**
     * 忽略HTTPS请求的SSL证书，必须在openConnection之前调用
     *
     * @throws Exception
     */
    public static void ignoreSsl() throws Exception {
        HostnameVerifier hv = new HostnameVerifier() {
            public boolean verify(String urlHostName, SSLSession session) {
                logger.info("Warning: URL Host: " + urlHostName + " vs. " + session.getPeerHost());
                return true;
            }
        };
        trustAllHttpsCertificates();
        HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(hv);
    }
}

在connect之前加入判断:

private static String readContentFromPost(String POST_URL, String postdata, int connTimeout, int readTimeout) throws IOException {
        StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
        URL postUrl = new URL(POST_URL);
        try {
            if ("https".equalsIgnoreCase(postUrl.getProtocol())) {
                SslUtils.ignoreSsl();
            }

            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) postUrl.openConnection();
            connection.setConnectTimeout(connTimeout);
            connection.setReadTimeout(readTimeout);
            connection.setDoOutput(true);
            connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
            connection.setUseCaches(false);
            connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8");
            connection.connect();
            DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());
            out.write(postdata.getBytes());
            out.flush();
            out.close();
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream(), "utf-8"));//设置编码,否则中文乱码
            String line = "";

            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                response.append(line);
            }
            reader.close();
            connection.disconnect();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            logger.error("postdata={}", postdata);
            logger.error("ignoreSsl-error:{}", e);
        }

        return response.toString();
    }
