I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use the class java.net.URL with HTTPS, actually, it should work:
Url url = new URL("https//www.yourweb.com"); HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection(); However, never have tried it myself since personally I believe that Applets are an outdated technology, but that' s a different story.
