I'm sorry you ran into problems using the EA1. We're working
on better documentation and source examples and there will be an EA2
coming up with assorted bug fixes as well.

HTTPS is treated just like any other URL type in Java. The only
thing that is different is that, since the HTTPS handler comes with
JSSE and is not already builtin to the JRE, you have to configure the
JRE to find it by setting a system property.

A general tutorial for URLs is available at:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/index.html

The system proprties for configuring the HTTPS URL handler are
documented off the download page in:
