Java Security Team,

We're architecting a system that needs to be able to access certain web
sites whose pages are SSL encrypted. It seems with the classes provided
in java.security.*, it should be relatively easy to extend the
java.net.Socket class or even better, the java.net.URL(URLConnection),
to allow Java to access https: URLs. I'd very much like to go ahead
with a Java design, but since I don't have a time table for the coming
Java security capabilities, I'm grudgingly forced to consider other
architectures.

Could you please pass along any and all information you have about SSL
and your plans or third-party plans to integrate it into Java (either in
the JDK or as an add-in)? Thank you very much.
