How to request a secured connection (https)?

Generally, we use http connection like this:

try{

            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
//              final HttpParams params = httpclient.getParams();
//              HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, REGISTRATION_TIMEOUT);
//              HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, WAIT_TIMEOUT);
//              ConnManagerParams.setTimeout(params, WAIT_TIMEOUT);

                HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
                HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
                is = entity.getContent();

        }catch(开发者_如何学编程Exception e){
              // Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection "+e.toString());
        }

If you are after Android 2.2, you can simply use class AndroidHttpClient.
