How to read a web page using https ?

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to read a page under a HTTPS connection. I got a certificate from my server and I'm not behind a firewall.
I find everthing confusing here, and the Java Secure Socket Extension Reference Guide from Sun is not helping too much.
If anyone could post some simple sample code to from the absolute 0, read the full page it would be really, really appreciated. It must include all the steps (from setting the trustStore pointing to the certificate, to actually reading the page).
And yes, I know this is really dummy, but I'm new to the connection part of the Java API and time is really short to solve this.
Thanks in advance,
- Juan

Amacfal,
First of, thank you for your help. But I'm trying to read a page using a HTTPS connection, and the code below (very similar to mine) doesn't work. At some point you must state where you got the PFX file. Where and how, I don't know.

Here is some sample code:
private void getWebPage(String searchPageURL)
//Local Attributes
String readString;
URL url;
URLConnection urlConnection;
BufferedReader HTMLpage;
try
//Connecting to URL
url = new URL(searchPageURL);  //e.g.
/e.g. searchPageURL = "http://www.yahoo.com"
urlConnection = url.openConnection();
HTMLpage = new BufferedReader(new
r(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
//Looping through Web Page
while((readString = HTMLpage.readLine()) !=
)) != null)
System.out.println(readString);
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
// NEED TO MANAGE ERRORS + LOG FILE
}You will need to import the following:import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
