java version "1.3.0_02"

Our customers have HTTPS web sites.  It would be nice if we could deploy our
JWS client side applications from them.  As it is, it is necessary to create a
separate HTTP site and place the download files there.  It is doubtful whether
our customer will accept this solution.  If they do not, we will have to
abandon JWS all together.  I would think providing HTTPS support would be
beneficial to many people as almost all e-commerce sites like stock brokers,
banks, business etc use HTTPS.  In fact, anyone likely to use JWS probably is
using HTTPS.  If you want to make JWS viable and have more people use Java
(which btw on a design level blows MS away -keep up the good work!) you need to
provide HTTPS.
