Http h = new Http();
    HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();

    req.setEndpoint('https://xxxxx.stg.xxx.com/subscription/api/v1/accounts/');
    Oauth1 reuest=new Oauth1();
    reuest.sign(req);//This method generates me header

Visiting https://nigel.stg.taluslabs.com/subscription/api/v1/accounts/ I notice that your site/service isn't certified with an ssl certificate signed by some verified certificate authority (CA). Salesforce will therefore not accept the certificate and you get the exception you're seeing. You can either switch to unencrypted http or buy a proper certificate or try making your web service talk to SF with certificates which are issued by a CA trusted by SF.

This is of course only possible if you control the endpoint you're trying to talk to. Check out: http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Making_Authenticated_Web_Service_Callouts_Using_Two-Way_SSL

Here's a pointer as to which CA's are accepted as valid authorities by SF: http://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000JziE

  • Change from: req.setEndpoint('https:...'); to req.setEndpoint('http:...'); – Martin Peters Dec 20 '12 at 11:05

    Since you're dealing with an oauth authenticated endpoint, I don't think skipping https is an especially good production-grade option. 301 probably means you've been redirected from http to https by the server meaning the server you're trying to talk to requires https. – Martin Peters Dec 20 '12 at 11:12
  • So if i understand well, the problem is link to the server which we are calling, and not the way we call the service. And it is a certificate issue as we are calling an https endpoint and not an http one. – vanessen Sep 10 '15 at 10:36
