HTTPS connection example

[Jeffrey Porter <PO...@WMGMAIL.wmg.warwick.ac.uk>]

 

Hello all,

 

I'm new to HTTP-client, so please be gentle :-)

 

I'm trying to make a connection to a website
(https://web.xxxx.com/AS/Journal/).

 

How do I tell the authentication mechanism it uses? Do I need to know?

 

Is there a simple example/tutorial on HTTPS connections? (other than the
FormLoginDemo.java)

 

Is there a decent website to start learning from?

 

Thanks

Jeff

Hello Jeff,

is this decent enough?

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/index.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/sslguide.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/authentication.html

You probably don't need to know the authentication mechanism.
But you do need to know whether there is one.

cheers,
  Roland
