Actually, you don't need to care if the object is an
HttpURLConnection unless you need to call any of the methods
specific to that subclass.

You would do the same thing as for http above except pass in
an https URL instead. Just read the INSTALL and README file links on
the JSSE download page to find out how to configure the JSSE security
provider and the search path for used by the JRE to find the https
URLStreamHandler provided by JSSE.
