GET csv file over HTTPS ?

Hello I need to 1) get a csv file through an HTTPS connection and 2) echo the file back to ensure proper transmission. Where can I find sample code to do this? Or better yet... how do i do this...?

I'd been piecing together some code from reading some google posts.. here's what i have so far( I also downloaded JSSE from sun's site)-->

public void getDataOverSSL(){
try{
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.interal.www.protocol");
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());

URL dataprovider = new URL("https://........");
URLConnection con = dataprovider.openConnection();
con.setDoInput(true);
con.setUseCaches(false);
BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String line;
while((line = buf.readLine()) != null){

} // end of while loop
}// end of try block
catch(Exception e){
System.err.println("Exception in DataXferHttps.getDataOverSSL");
e.printStackTrace();
}

} // end of getDataOverSSL

What you're doing looks fine.

Why? TCP/IP guarantees correct packet delivery afaik.

objects...

thanks for looking my post(code) over-

our client requested that the file be echoed back? should I just explain to them that, "TCP/IP guarantees correct packet delivery afaik."

well... as soon as i get the link from the client i'm going to give my code a try- If it doesn't work and i can't figure it out, i'll post again here. If it works i'll award you the points for your time.

Thanks again!
