Android javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: No peer certificate error in application but browser opens the URL correctly

Android javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: No peer certificate
error in application but browser opens the URL correctly

I went through most of the questions on SSLPeerUnverifiedException: No
peer certificate on SO, but could not find a solution for my problem. Most
of the solution either provide a custom Trust Manager to accept all SSL
certificate or provide a custom keystore with default certificates + my
server's certificate and allow that. But my problem is different.
I get javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: No peer certificate when I
use HttpClient I have also tried doing
public HttpClient createHttpClient()
{
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(params, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
HttpProtocolParams.setContentCharset(params,
HTTP.DEFAULT_CONTENT_CHARSET);
HttpProtocolParams.setUseExpectContinue(params, true);
SchemeRegistry schReg = new SchemeRegistry();
schReg.register(new Scheme("http",
PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80));
schReg.register(new Scheme("https",
SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 443));
ClientConnectionManager conMgr = new
ThreadSafeClientConnManager(params, schReg);
return new DefaultHttpClient(conMgr, params);
}
But my link does open in the browser in my device. (Firefox, Chrome and
default browser)
I also get no peer certificate when I test the URL with openssl
$ openssl s_client -connect myserver.com:443
CONNECTED(00000003)
write:errno=104
---
no peer certificate available

No client certificate CA names sent

SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 225 bytes

New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE)
Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported

I want to know how does the browser open this link without the certificate.
I also tried the URL with Curl and it does seem to give the response
$ curl -v "https://www.myserver.com/url" -H "Accept:application/json"
