I am using Websphere 4.0.7 on a Unix platform.

My application code is creating a java.net.URL object.

When the URL prefix is "https", I observe an exception:

java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: https
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at com.mycorp.Util.foobar(Util.java:47)

How can I fix this?   Why doesn't Websphere 4.0.7 support
an https URL object?

Has IBM published a fix or workaround?

do you have the IBM JSSE provider configured correctly?

We are using IBM's default configuration.  I haven't made any
changes to the JSSE providers.

What should the configuration look like?

sorry, have looked at WAS 4 in years, but it should be in the info center.
