HTTPS is broken on older JDKs (Bug #18738)

Mike,
I have been trying to find out the cause of the problem then renders
HTTPS non-functional on Sun JDKs older than 1.4.0 and IBM JDKs older
than 1.3.0 

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18738

It is almost certain that the bug was introduced on the 2003/04/01 (9
days ago). Earlier versions are not subject to this defect. 

It appears this patch has produced a side-effect on older JDK that
prevents SSL from initializing properly: 

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons/httpclient/src/java/org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpConnection.java.diff?r1=1.51&r2=1.52&diff_format=h

I'll be trying to identify the exact cause of the problem. I just wonder
if could think of something from the top of your head?

Cheers

Oleg
