javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version
Has anyone encountered this error before? I'm new to SSL, is there anything obviously wrong with my ClientHello that I'm missing? That exception is thrown with no ServerHello response. Any advice is appreciated.

Answer
On Java 1.8 default TLS protocol is v1.2. On Java 1.6 and 1.7 default is obsoleted TLS1.0. I get this error on Java 1.8, because url use old TLS1.0 (like Your - You see ClientHello, TLSv1). To resolve this error You need to use override defaults for Java 1.8.
System.setProperty("https.protocols", "TLSv1");
