#14381 — Trying to connect to an https://domain.com URL via Java and failing to do so

Can anyone help me understand why this is not working:

Here is the important part. When compiled and run:
String Urlx="https://domain.com"  // valid URL that comes up fine in a
web browser
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
"com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
URL url = new URL(Urlx);
in = url.openStream();        //  Currently An IoException is thrown
     :

It appears  an IoException is thrown: java.io.IOException: Server
returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://domain.com

Does anyone know why this might be happening and what if anything is
missing? e.g missing .jar file?  A different way to accomplish this in
Java JDK?

It means the server doesn't like something about your request. Many 
websites don't allow Java's default User-Agent, for many reasons. 
Likely you are (perhaps unintentionally) violating the ToS of the site 
you're attempting to connect to.

I don't think you need to specify any properties to use HTTPS in
any recent Java.

Whether that makes a difference or not I don't know.

See http://mindprod.com/products1.html#HTTP

You get use the GET class to fetch either http: or https: 
Java selects the https: handler transparently.

and complicated than HTML because of the unplanned way it grows.
