I am new to implementing anything with SSL connections other than
putting together canned
software. How hard would it be to implement an https protocol handler
using JCE and would you
happen to have any plans for this? It looks like if I were to implement
that I would have
to get a Cipher setup and then use CipherInputStream and
CipherOoutputStream for
communication. The main reason I am interest is the lack of https
support in java
applications and the java plugin. A sub-class of URLStreamHandler that
did the basics
would be nice... of course this may be more complicated than I realize.
