The most likely problem is that the server does not support
SSL_RSA_WITH_NULL_MD5 which is the only cipher suite you have
enabled. This cipher suite support authentication via RSA and
integrity protection via MD5 but the the data is not encrypted.
Therefore it is not generally supported by servers and is not enabled
by default in the JSSE reference implementation.
