I have to work on an old 1.3 JVM and I’m asked to create a secure connection to another server. Unfortunately the HttpsURLConnection only appears sinc JVM 1.4.
Is there another way to create a secure connection? Is there a library that I could you to add this fonctionnality?
You need to install the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE), which used to be required because Sun wouldn’t ship it with the JDK because of comedy export restrictions. I had a look on Sun’s web site, but the JDK 1.3 instructions are preving elusive. Bear in mind that JDK 1.3 is now end-of-lifed by Sun, so they may not have any information any more.
