Keep in mind the socket stream( both input and output) that are used inside of any browser JVM( plugin or embedded) are allocated and opened by the browser for the JVM. Therefore from within the browser you don't need anything like "HTTPSUrlConnection" , you just use the standard HTTPUrlConnection , all encryption and decryption is done before and after you read or send data). However if you plan on developing standalone Java applications that will talk the HTTP deamons the support HTTPS (SSL) you will need some sort of HTTPSUrlConnection support.
