Yes, you're right. HttpsURLConnection is not currently available and we should remove the reference to it from the documentation.
Do you need to be able to provide client-side certificates, validate server-side certificates or do custom hostname validation? If so, please star one of the following relevant issues: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=46 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1036 or file your own. If you don't need these, you can use use URL.openConnection() with a https:// URL and you will receive a HttpURLConnection that is capable of retrieving HTTPS data. However, if you are trying to use a library where that is not sufficient (because it checks for an https:// URL itself and tries to cast the connection class?) please open a new issue in an issue tracker and explain what we can do to help.
