The JSSE reference implementation includes an HTTPS URL handler
that can be configured into the JRE to handle "https" URLs for
standalone applications. You can download the JSSE 1.0 Early Access
release now via the Java Developer Connection at http://java.sun.com/jdc/.
Be sure to download and read the README and INSTALL links from the
download page for configuration details.
