This is not really a servlet question but it's quite closely related to servlets (at
least it's about HTTP) so I'll answer it.

That's right. Default Java only supports the HTTP protocol for URLs like that.

Sun's JSSE provides an implementation of HttpsURLConnection which is what you need to
get the job done.
>The code I´ve tried is:
> System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
> "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
> java.security.Security.addProvider(

> URL url = new URL("https://www.myhttpsserver/myresource");

Not sure if that works. Did you look at the examples section in the JSSE download?
The URL example there says to set the following property
java.protocol.handler.pkgs = com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol
But I don't see it saying anything about the secure provider.
>Do any of you have any further ideas?
You could try setting the property on the command line (with the -D switch).
You must ensure that the JSSE libs are all in the classpath.
If you have real trouble try running the examples and seeing if they work. If you
can't manage that send me your command line and I'll see if I can spot if you're doing
anything wrong.
