HTTPSURLConnection/JSSE

Hi...I am having some difficulty making a secure connection to send/receive streams. In order to connect to non-secure sites, I use the following code:

// Initialize URL variables

URL url = null;

HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;

// Get handle to URL and its connection

url = new URL("http://www.whatever.com");

urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

// Open input/output stream

[Add code to open stream(s) here]

// Clean up

[Add code to close stream(s) here]

This code works fine. When I change the URL to a "HTTPS" URL, the code throws a malformed URL exception. I understand that this is because the HTTPS protocol is not understood and JSSE must be used. So, I installed JSSE in the appropriate directory, added the JAR files to my class path, and changed the above code to this:

// Initialize URL variables

URL url = null;

HttpsURLConnection urlConnection = null;

// Add provider

System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");

Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());

// Get handle to URL and its connection

url = new URL("https://www.whatever.com");

urlConnection = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();

// Open input/output stream

[Add code to open stream(s) here]

// Clean up

[Add code to close stream(s) here]

Unfortunately, the code blows up when I try to open an input or output stream. I get the following in the log:

I have tried both static and dynamic registration, and both at the same time! For static registration, I do the following:

1. Copied the 3 JSSE JAR files to $JREHOME/lib/ext

2. Modified the java.security file to add the additional security provider

For dymaic registration, I do the following:

1. Added the 3 JAR files to my classpath

2. Added a line (shown in code above) to dynamically add the provider

I feel like I have done everything but it still does not work! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
