Hi,

Apparently, your portal at https://eduroam-provision.newman.ac.uk/ has 
no intermediate certificate via https; so the GET to 
https://eduroam-provision.newman.ac.uk/ fails because of an SSL error 
(SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: 
Trust anchor for certification path not found.)

If you'd include the intermediate certificate from the webserver, it 
should work. Many browsers probably won't notice, but it's not correct 
to leave out the intermediate; if it's not previously known, there is no 
trust path to the root CAs.

Regards,
Paul
