I have written a small code in Java to access an URL . The code works fine for HTTP connection, but fails for HTTPS (the error is pasted below)
Any help to fix this will be greatly appreciated .
CODE :
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
public class ConnectToWCProd {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String userPassword = "user1:user1";
String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode (userPassword.getBytes());
//URL oracle = new URL("http://<URL>/");
URL oracle = new URL("https://<URL>");
URLConnection yc = oracle.openConnection();
yc.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(yc.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);
in.close();
}
}
ERROR :
