Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Class com.sun.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection

Synopsis

This class implements an HTTPS connection to a particular server. You can use the static methods of this class to set global parameters (cipher suites, etc.) that apply to all subsequent HTTPS connections, and you can obtain information about the connection directly from the object. It is used most often to set the hostname verifier or the cipher suite for the connection.
