creating a Java Proxy Server that accepts HTTPS



i already have a working HTTP proxy server that can handle multiple HTTP request. now my problem is how do I handle https request?





here's a simplified code i am using:







class Daemon

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

ServerSocket cDaemonSocket = new ServerSocket(3128);



while(true)

{

try

{

Socket ClientSocket = cDaemonSocket.accept();

(new ClientHandler(ClientSocket )).start();

}catch(Exception e) { }

}

}



}







and the ClientHandler







class ClientHandler extends Thread

{

private Socket socket = null;

private Socket remoteSocket = null;

private HTTPReqHeader request = null;

ClientHandler(Socket socket)

{

this.socket = socket;

request = new HTTPReqHeader();

request.parse(socket); // I read and parse the HTTP request here

}



public void run()

{

if(!request.isSecure() )

{

remoteSocket = new Socket(request.url,request.port);

}

else

{

// now what should I do to established a secured socket?

}



// start connecting remoteSocket and clientSocket

...........

}

}







}





I really did try searching how, I have encounter SSL tunneling, certificate,handshaking, SSLSocket, SSLFactory, trustStore and etc. something like that but still could not make it work.. I just need to know what are the things I need and the steps to established a connection to a SSL-enabled web server.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?

Java Urban Myths

Along the line of C++ Urban Myths and Perl Myths : What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are common but have no actual roots in reality . As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller? Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.
