    Subject: SSL support in JDK

Hello,

Are there any plans to support SSL in future releases of the JDK?
I read in a book named "Hacking Java" that SSL support was planned
for 1.1 but it is apparently not there.

In particular, I'm hoping you folks will extend the java.net.*URL*
classes to support SSL. I currently have the SSLava non-commercial
distribution and there appears to be no clean way of integrating
their SSL implementation with the latest JDK (1.1.3) release.

Thanks for any insights or information you could provide.

Tim

P.S. Two administrative notes:
(1) I tried downloading the Hypermail Q&A but gave up after
1/2 hour of waiting. Is there some other means (ftp?)
of retrieving that information?
(2) If you folks are not the right audience for the above
question, I would appreciate it if you would direct me
to those who are.
