    Subject: SSL over java.net.URL (using Java Web Server 1.1)

I'm writing an SSL client connecting to the Java Web Server 1.1. Since
the advance documentation on the javax.net.ssl API
(http://java.sun.com/jdc/ - "what's new" section) says that doing SSL is
done automatically using https with the URL class, I'm trying that
first.

However, when I do a URL.openConnection(), on the client side I get an
java.io.IOException: Error writing to server

>From the server error log, it says:

Using the admin tool, I've enabled all the cipher suites. Looking at
SSLSocketFactory defaultCipherSuites [2 of them] (and
supportedCipherSuites [5 of them]), there should be a match.

Using URL("http://foo.bar:8080/").openConnection() works but
URL("https://foo.bar:7070/").openConnection() doesn't work.

Using the standard browser I can connect both to the http & https URLs.

So any magic formula for getting SSL of java.net.URL to work?
