Subject: the naive question of the month
when i run the following and specify an https URL:
import java.net.*;
class ss
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
try {
URL u = new URL (args[0]);
URLConnection c = u.openConnection ();
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println (e);
}
}
}
i get:
java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: https
jsee.jar, jnet.jar, and jcert.jar are in the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext
dir of my linux v1.2 java installation.
and com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider is my security.provider.1
value.
did i miss some 'protocol factory' configuration tweak?
