POST OVER HTTPS

[direwolf]

I am doing some Lotus Notes server-side development. I have a Java class that will write an XML string to a buffer, and post it to a URL. I am using JDK 1.3, and have been able to test this via http. I now need to be able to post to a secure URL. I understand that the Java Secure Socket Extentions are in JDK 1.4.

Assuming I upgrade my JDK, do I need any additional packages? Can someone give me an example of how to perform this task using the secure socket packages?

THANKS

Ben
