Problem sending data with HTTPS using client authentication.

Question

Hi,
I�m tryingto send a message to a secure server using for this client certificate, apparently if I make a GET of "/" (server root) , everything works fine (authentication, and data received), from the moment that I try to ways send data to the "/pvtn " directory i obtain the following error.
This is a sample of the code i�m using:
import com.sun.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;

//// Select the ciphers you want and put them.
//// Here we will put all availabel ciphers
jsslSoc.setEnabledCipherSuites(ciphers);

System.out.println("");

else

try
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(jsslSoc.getOutputStream(), "ISO-8859-1");
//THIS WAY WORKS FINE
out.write("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n");
// HERE COMES THE TROUBLES
//out.write("GET /pvtn?someparameter=paramvalue HTTP/1.1\r\n");
out.write("Host: " + TARGET_HTTPS_SERVER + ":" + TARGET_HTTPS_PORT + "\r\n");

String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(line);
finally
jsslSoc.close();
the ssl log until sending the GET is

One more thing if if make the same thing via browser (https://mymachine.mydomain.pt/pvtn?someparameter=somevalue) and works fine too (obviously i pre installed the client certificate in the browser and choose the certificate when the pop up show up)
It seems like the handshaking fails when i send data to /pvtn...

I amhaving the another problem very similar, I am struggling with client authentication with IIS 5.0, and receiving the 'Remote Host closed the connection' error.
Is there any help me in this. I truly apprecaite it
Thanks
