Connecting SSIS WebService task to Spring WevService - ssis

Question

I have a SSIS package in which i use a WebService task to call a Spring WS.
The authentication is done by client certificate and username & password.
I have tried to do it like this a simple HttpConnection and a WebService task - Error 504 Gateway Timeout. When i edit the HttpConnection and click on Test Connection i get an error that states:
"The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel."
I have tried doing it with a script task and the same error.
I have even tried with a dummy console application and the same result.
I also have a java written app that actually does the job but i do not have access to it's code-behind. This basically proves that the problem is not from the server itself.
The java application has it's own keystore and the same certificates that i have installed on the server.
I opened a wireshark capture and i saw that when i used either of my apps the host made a DNS request for an address that i did not configure anywhere(it seems like a proxy address from the intranet), while the java app made a DNS request with the correct address.
I am stuck here, and i have no idea what the problem might be or what else i can do so that i would get a proper error.
Please advise!
Edit:
This is the code that calls the WS:
public static void CallWebService()
{
var _url = "https://<IP>/App/soap/DataService";
string action = "getData";
Dictionary<string, string> parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
parameters.Add("param1", "0");
parameters.Add("param2", "0");
parameters.Add("param3", "value");
XmlDocument soapEnvelopeXml = CreateSoapEnvelope(action, parameters);
HttpWebRequest webRequest = CreateWebRequest(_url);
InsertSoapEnvelopeIntoWebRequest(soapEnvelopeXml, webRequest);
// begin async call to web request.
IAsyncResult asyncResult = webRequest.BeginGetResponse(null, null);
// suspend this thread until call is complete. You might want to
// do something usefull here like update your UI.
asyncResult.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne();
// get the response from the completed web request.
string soapResult;
using (WebResponse webResponse = webRequest.EndGetResponse(asyncResult))
{
using (StreamReader rd = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
soapResult = rd.ReadToEnd();
}
}
Console.WriteLine(soapResult);
}
private static HttpWebRequest CreateWebRequest(string url)
{
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
webRequest.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"";
webRequest.Accept = "text/xml";
webRequest.Method = "POST";
string thumbprint = "CERTIFICATE THUMBPRINT";
byte[] thumbprintArray = new byte[thumbprint.Split(new char[]{ ' ' }).Length];
string[] stringArray = thumbprint.Split(new char[] { ' ' });
for (int i = 0; i < thumbprintArray.Length; i++)
{
thumbprintArray[i] = Convert.ToByte(stringArray[i], 16);
}
X509Store localStore = new X509Store("My");
localStore.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
X509Certificate2Collection certCol = localStore.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindByTimeValid, DateTime.Now, true);
foreach (X509Certificate cert in certCol)
{
if (cert.GetCertHashString() == thumbprint)
{
webRequest.ClientCertificates.Add(cert);
break;
}
}
webRequest.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
webRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("USER", "PASSWORD");
return webRequest;
}
private static XmlDocument CreateSoapEnvelope(string action, Dictionary<string, string> parameters)
{
string formatedParameters = string.Empty;
string paramFormat = "<{0}>{1}</{0}>";
foreach (string key in parameters.Keys)
{
formatedParameters += string.Format(paramFormat, key, parameters[key]);
}
XmlDocument soapEnvelop = new XmlDocument();
soapEnvelop.LoadXml(string.Format(#"

return soapEnvelop;
}
private static void InsertSoapEnvelopeIntoWebRequest(XmlDocument soapEnvelopeXml, HttpWebRequest webRequest)
{
using (Stream stream = webRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
soapEnvelopeXml.Save(stream);
}
}
