how to Use HttpUnit to test a secure website with SSL

Hello,

Trying to use HttpUnit testing tool to test our webapplication. Our applicaiton uses SSL.

However, when i try to test run the below code, i get the error:

WebRequest request =new GetMethodWebRequest(https://www.testit.com");

WebResponse response = wc.getResponse(request);

System.out.println("Response:[" + response.getTitle()+"]");

error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: https supportrequires the Java Secure Sockets Extension

Is there a special way to configure HttpUnit to test Secure websites?. I found a related article but found no solution.
