Hassle free connections for HTTPS

Question

Hi,
I am trying to make http requests for https. Currently I am doing this on TCP/IP socket. From socket, send request headers over StreamReader and StreamWriter;
"POST mypage/myone.htm HTTP/1.1\r\n"+...
I tried using Socket created with the recommended;
SSLSocketFactory sslFact = (SSLSocketFactory)SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
SSLSocket s = (SSLSocket)sslFact.createSocket(addr, port);
Doesn't seem to doing as I expected. Do you have some hassle free codes that work always without manual settings, etc? There is no need to validate providers or use CA.
Thanks in advance.

I am getting exceptions like this;
java.lang.ClassCastException:
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionOldImpl
cannot be cast to javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnectionfrom the following line;
HttpsURLConnection conn =
(HttpsURLConnection)new java.net.URL("https://....").
openConnection();If I change this to HttpURLConnection, error comes to the following;
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.
ValidatorException: No trusted certificate foundCurrently I am testing with Tomcat without CA certificates. It is intended to be used with and without certificates. There is no risk being hacked for doing so. I tested with 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6.
