Try it yourself
For those who believe in learning
by programming here are a few tips:
If your are using J2SDK 1.4 use the
HttpsURLConnection class in the javax.net.ssl
package,
Alternately if you still live in
the J2SDK 1.3 world,use the HttpsURLConnection class in the com.sun.net.ssl
package.
Using this url connection class you can connect to a secure web
site (like https://www.verisign.com) over the https protocol and feel proud of
yourself.
