You may want to try using HttpUnit to get the HTML from a remote computer then send it to the portlet. You will have to use a Servlet Portlet or a Velocity Portlet instead of the WebPagePortlet. HttpUnit could get the HTML through the SSL connection on the server, then send it to the Portlet. Here is a link about HttpUnit: http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/ and a link for using HttpUnit over SSL http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/doc/sslfaq.html. The WebPagePortlet may work with SSL if you add the trusted certificate to your JVM. That is also included in the HttpUnit over SSL faq. The iFrame makes the most sense, except that JetSpeed may lose the current location of the iFrame when another portal changes. We have not yet used the iFrame portlet, but have used iFrames inside of JetSpeed and they work quite well.

That said, I don't knnow what might be missing or needed in Jetspeed to enable it to make https connections, but it may be the same as what would be needed for Tomcat to be able to accept https connections from a browser, which (I think) is a server certificate... If you want the web page to go directly to the browser, try the IFramePortlet that was recently added to 1.3a3. The tip CVS is in pretty good shape with reguard to customizers now. If you use the IFramePortlet, an Iframe will go in the html page from Jetspeed, and the src of that iframe would be your https url... Then only your browser would have to be able to do https with that server. - Glenn -------------------------------------------- Glenn R.
