How get/post with cookies and https.

[Eridano]

Ciao.

I need an example about how to connect to an https site (for example
hotmail - email) and with a java client login with user and password
and read page with my post summary...could you help me? It very
critical to understand how cookies and https (with certificates)
works.

Thank you in advance.

Hey there....

Check out HTTPUnit at http://www.httpunit.org - read the docs, but the
basic idea is that you create something called a WebConversation
object, and pass all subsequent requests through that. The
WebConversation object will manage all your cookies for you (although
you can have access to them of course).

Good documentation and samples to get you going, I've been using it
for some time and it works great...

Good luck!

You can use HttpUrlConnection with JSSE. You can use
HTTPClient. You can HttpClient (jakarta). Depends.
