That's not true. You *can* use "https:" URLs with URLConnection in
both servlets and standalone applications. You only need
to add two things to the standard JDK:
1) implementation of SSLSocket
2) https protocol driver
AFAIK there are these implementations of SSLSocket available:
SSLava - only inside U.S.A. - http://www.phaos.com/
J/SSL - uknown price - http://www.baltimore.ie/products/jssl/index.html
iSaSiLk - $500 per year - http://jcewww.iaik.tu-graz.ac.at/
JCSI - free for non-commercial usage -
http://security.dstc.edu.au/projects/java/release4.html
Java SSL - only for NT - http://www.ixworld.com/javassl/
ITISSL - free, uses OpenSSL - http://www-sp.iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/itissl/
My choice is ITISSL, it is free and fast, because it uses native calls
to OpenSSL libraries.
The https protocol driver is hard to find. I know only the one
contained in JWS distribution.
If anybody knows about other implementations of SSLSocket and/or https
driver, please let me know.
