Pulling data from a website which is protected by certificate which I have!

Can anyone let me know how to read data from a web page that is protected by a certificate. I do have the certificate. So can anyone breakdown the process for me as to how should my program go about this task.

I usually get data from password protected websites. And now I have this whole list of websites that are protected by certificates. I have the certificates of all of them. But i need to write a java program that runs every hour or so and get the required data from these websites.

I am guessing theres going to be sockets/certificatefactory involved but not too sure.

Please point me in a direction,steps and some sample code if u can would be of great help.

The website is "https://oasis.midwestiso.org/documents/miso/outage_reports.asp"

Best regards,

KC

Web pages aren't 'protected by a certificate'. The certificate is there to identify the website to you, not to protect the website from you. And you probably don't have that certificate, you have a public-key certificate that corresponds to it.

So your question doesn't make any sense.

Perhaps what you should be talking about is SSL or HTTPS.
