Hi Ari,
I'm attempting to do something similar at the moment. In my case, I'm
connecting to a https secure server and grabbing data from it. This is
generally the most common way that it is done.
The problem is that Java does not currently support the https protocol, and it
is very hard to get a straight answer from Sun about their plans to support it
(they tend to try and push you towards using HotJava, the Sun Java server or
an applet in Netscape Nav which all include https). Therefore the only way to
do this currently is to use a third party solution.
The most common solution is the sslava java toolkit which includes heaps of
encryption techniques and classes to make them easily work over sockets. Phaos
(www.phaos.com) currently distributes this, and they do offer a free trial
evaluation with all of the .class java files. I've currently got the classes
but cannot get them to work in a WO project builder project (see thread: 'Re:
using java .class files in project'). Hope this helps,
Matthew Bickham
