Handling https requests depends on the web server not on the servlet engine.
But you can know in the servlet request whether it is a http request or
https request by making a call to
boolean secure = req.isSecure(). Web server takes care of http or https
requests. I dont think servlet engine cares about any of these.

Subject: SSl and servlet engine
Can someone answer my simple question?
As we konw, there are a lot of servlet engines. Most of them don't
implement SSL protocol. While, Most Web server implement SSL protocol.
Am I right?
My question is: The servlet engine send the HTTP respond to the client
directly without the SSL support provided by Web server, doesn't it?
Actually,
I want to know the whole flow of the HTTPS with servlet engine.
Thanks in advance.
