Read from a HTTPS url

I'm new to HTTPS and SSL implementation, so my question may seem very basic to you all.

I'm trying to read from an HTTPS url. I can successfully read a standard HTTP url. I've read a lot of the posts, but I can't seem to get a handle on how to do this. We arenotconcerned about verifying certificates either on the server or client, as we are just using HTTPS to encrypt the connection and nothing else.

Could someone please send me the code, etc that I would need in order to do this? I'd greatly appreciate any help you can give me, and I'll be happy to reward you with Duke dollars! (I'm also an expert Swing developer so I can help you that way as well :)

Thanks!

So as long as the data is encrypted you don't care who you're talking to?

I never understand this. SSL is not secure unless you authenticate at least one end.
