Specifying an Alternative HTTPS Protocol Implementation
You can communicate securely with an SSL-enabled web server by using the HTTPS URL scheme for the
java.net.URL
class. The SDK provides a default HTTPS URL implementation.
If you want an alternate HTTPS protocol implementation to be used, set the
java.protocol.handler.pkgs
system property to include the new class name. This action
causes the specified classes to be found and loaded before the SDK default classes. See the
java.net.URL
class documentation for details.
