MIDP: Ignore Bad Certificates for HTTPS connection?

[okapi]

I'm writing a MIDP 2.0 MIDlet that will make connections against https
servers that do not have a certificate signed by a valid CA. I've been
searcing for how to avoid the bad certificate exception:

javax.microedition.pki.CertificateException: Certificate was issued by
an unrecognized entity

I found the parameter addition of ";CertificateErrorHandling=warn"
which avoids the bad certificate but still seems to leave the
connection non-functional as I get the following exception when trying
to get the response message from the HTTPS connection:

javax.microedition.io.ConnectionNotFoundException: TCP open

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Steve
