com.jscape.inet.https

Class Https

java.lang.Object

com.jscape.inet.http.Http

com.jscape.inet.https.Https

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class Https
extends Http

Implements the basic functionality of a HTTPS client. This class extends the Http class therefore providing all the same functionality but for SSL connections. See the com.jscape.inet.http package for more information. Use of this class requires JDK 1.4 or JDK 1.3.x and the JCE (Java Cryptography Extensions). The JCE may be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/products/archive/jce/1.2/

When using JDK 1.3.x and JCE be sure to place the JCE jar files (jcert.jar, jnet.jar and jsse.jar) in your JDK_HOME/lib/jre/ext directory.

JDK 1.4 and greater Example Usage:

 Https https = new Https();

 // build HTTP request
 HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest("https://www.myserver.com");

 // get HTTP response
 try {
   HttpResponse response = https.getResponse(request);
   System.out.println(response.getBody());
 }
 catch(Exception e) {
   System.out.println(e);
 }
 

JDK 1.3.x with JCE Example Usage:

 Https https = new Https();

 // register SSL provider
 javax.security.Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
  // build HTTP request
 HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest("https://www.myserver.com");

 // get HTTP response
 try {
   HttpResponse response = https.getResponse(request);
   System.out.println(response.getBody());
 }
 catch(Exception e) {
   System.out.println(e);
 }

setServerCertificates

public void setServerCertificates(java.lang.String filename,
                                  java.lang.String password)
                           throws HttpException

Sets optional server certificate to be used during authentication. Default expected keystore format is JKS format. Existing certificate may be imported into keystore using the keytool utility provided in the Sun JDK.

Example:

 keytool.exe -import -file x509.cer -keystore your_store_name
 

The example above imports the certificate x509.cer into a keystore named your_store_name

Parameters:

filename - the keystore file containing the server certificate

password - the keystore password

Throws:

HttpException - if certificates cannot be loaded

setServerCertificates

public void setServerCertificates(java.lang.String filename,
                                  java.lang.String password,
