Accessing the URL

[Rajeev Muralidharan]

All,
Here's a piece of code I've got to access a https site. It's fine as far as getting to the host. example: www.bankofrajeev.com But I need to go to a directory beyond the host like www.bankofrajeev.com/outbound. I need to use the SSLSocket and how can this be accomplished? Please help as I have to finish this project by today. My previous question didn't evoke any response and I think I've resolved it. So please do help!!!
SSLSocketFactory sf = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
System.out.println("created socket factory");
SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket)sf.createSocket( host, port );
Rajeev.

Talking about directories sounds like you want files rather than a raw socket. Here's how I did it:

// 07/17/2002 JLS Added following statements to handle HTTPS
java.security.Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
                   "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
// 07/17/2002 end
lURL   = new URL( mURL );
BufferedReader lData = new BufferedReader(
                          new InputStreamReader(
                             new BufferedInputStream(
                                lURL.openStream() )));
while (true)
{
   lLine = lData.readLine();
   if ( null == lLine ) break;
      lBuffer.append( lLine );
}
lData.close();

See if that helps!
