Has anyone used the Spring Android Rest Template over https?

We've recently integrated this into our android application and are running into performance problems when we switch our REST urls to HTTPS.

Everything works fine under HTTP. Response times from the server are around a second to invoke the REST template and deserialize our JSON object. However, when we switch over to HTTPS it's taking 10-20 seconds to get complete the request.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,

Charles
