Blackdown 1.3.1 problem with the https URL scheme: Won't work

[David Tonhofer]

Hello,

I have run into a little snag with the blackdown 1.3.1 02b on RedHat
Linux 7.3, just the facts:

1) I can't get the 'https' URL scheme to work with my code,
i.e. new URL("https",...) throws an exception:

java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: https

Note that this is not done in a standalone application, but in a
Tomcat 4.1 servlet container (but that does not change anything,
does it?)

2) I have followed all the readme files concerning configuration,
JSSE setup etc, and indeed:

3) It works on the olden IBM 1.2 VisualAge JVM (on W2K)

4) It works on the SUN 1.4.1 JVM (on RH7.3)

I conclude that there is no error in the Tomcat setup or the
code. JSSE is available (and SSL sockets can be opened w/o
problem) I haven't tried Blackdown 1.4.1 yet.

5) Setting "-verbose" on the JVM, we see the following Tomcat log:

In Blackdown 1.3.1:

Ajp13Processor[8009][4]
INFO
m3p.utils.ssl.SSLSetup.setUpSSLFunctionality
00>Successfully set the 'https' handler base name

(this is my class logging through Log4J, the thread name is in the
first line, the log level in the second, the category in the 3rd,
the message in the 4th & subsequent lines)

In Sun 1.4.1:

Ajp13Processor[8009][4]
INFO
m3p.utils.ssl.SSLSetup.setUpSSLFunctionality
00>Successfully set the 'https' handler base name
[Loaded sun.net.www.protocol.http.Handler from /usr/java-prod/j2sdk-1.4.1-fcs-sun/jre/lib/rt.jar]
[Loaded sun.net.www.protocol.https.Handler from /usr/java-prod/j2sdk-1.4.1-fcs-sun/jre/lib/jsse.jar]
[Loaded com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol.https.Handler from /usr/java-prod/j2sdk-1.4.1-fcs-sun/jre/lib/jsse.jar]

(Here we see 3 additional lines generated by the JVM saying that indeed
the com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol.https.Handler has been loaded;
these lines do not show up in Blackdown 1.3.1)


So...is this problem known? Is it a fluke? I didn't find any mention
on the web, Usenet or in jitterbug concerning this....

Best regards,
