Why am I getting a Splunk JAVA SDK handshake_failure trying to log in to Splunk remotely?

I am using the JAVA SDK and the example online. I tried to login the remote internal Splunk, but get error message:

However, I have fully tested the login function with NODEJS SDK and Curl command. No problem to login the remote Splunk. Can any one answer my question? Thank you!

I downloaded the SDK from splunk website and it is splunk-sdk-java-1.3.1.jar And here is the code:
ServiceArgs loginArgs = new ServiceArgs();
loginArgs.setUsername("xxxx");
loginArgs.setPassword("xxxx");
loginArgs.setHost("xxxx");
loginArgs.setPort(8089);
loginArgs.setScheme("https");

    // Create a Service instance and log in with the argument map
    Service service = new Service(loginArgs);
    service.login();

Use the static method connect() with Service:

ServiceArgs loginArgs = new ServiceArgs();
loginArgs.setUsername("xxxx");
loginArgs.setPassword("xxxx");
loginArgs.setHost("xxxx");
loginArgs.setPort(8089);
loginArgs.setScheme("https");
Service service = Service.connect(loginArgs);
