I know that the current MIDP doesn't support HTTPS. However, I have read some posts on this site that Sun Labs are putting out a kSSL implementation and some people have written apps using https. Can somebody help me on kSSL and https from J2ME device.
Thanks a lot!

HTTPS support has to be integrated into the device to use it. Note that the Motorola iDEN phones support HTTPS as an extension to the basic HTTP support required by MIDP. Also, the latest J2ME Wireless Toolkit (1.0.3) supports HTTPS. If the device you're using doesn't have HTTPS support built-in, however, you can't really load it in yourself.

Eric, Thanks for your reply. I have 1 more question, how can I load the public/private key signature file onto the device? Is there any examples that are using the https?

It would depend entirely on the device. I suspect most of these devices support server authentication only. On the Motorola i85s there is no way to load client certificates.
