Problem with SSL socket(SSLSocketFactoryImpl.createSocket())

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to create a ssl socket but I get an exception, I really don't know why. I have alredy include the certificate via keytool to my jdk. And I'm able to get html header with URLConnection with the code below
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
public class testClass {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          try{
               URL url = new URL("https://ippbx1:8443/axl/");
               String userPassword = "****" + ":" + "****";
               String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode (userPassword.getBytes());
               URLConnection c = url.openConnection();
               c.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);
               for (int i=0; ; i++)
                    String name = c.getHeaderFieldKey(i);
                    String value = c.getHeaderField(i);
                    if (name == null && value == null)     // end of headers
                         break;        
                    if (name == null)     // first line of headers
                         System.out.println("Server HTTP version, Response code:");
                         System.out.println(value);
                         System.out.print("\n");
                    else
                         System.out.println(name + "=" + value);
          catch (Exception e) {}
}and I get the following result :
Server HTTP version, Response code:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server=Apache-Coyote/1.1

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.net.SocketFactory;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory;
public class axlforward {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
String address = "https://ippbx1:8443/axl/";        
          int portnum = 8443;
try
               SocketFactory socketFactory = SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
               Socket socket = socketFactory.createSocket(address, portnum);
} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();} I get the following
java.net.UnknownHostException: https://ippbx1/axl/
     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:177)
     at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:366)
     at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:519)
     at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.connect(SSLSocketImpl.java:550)
     at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.<init>(SSLSocketImpl.java:353)
     at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketFactoryImpl.createSocket(SSLSocketFactoryImpl.java:71)
     at axlforward.main(axlforward.java:89)I have a VB program that connects to the socket(with Inet1.Protocol = icHTTPS and Inet1.Execute strURL, "Post", strFormData, strFormHdr methods) and do what I want but I need to do it in Java but I'm not able to find the error.
the server socket is a Cisco callManager Service(AXL Web Service) which receives and html+SOAP request and sends back an xml response and this server socket is running correctly with no problem.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply.
I now can access to my socket and get the information I want with:
SocketFactory socketFactory = SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
               socket = (SSLSocket) socketFactory.createSocket("ippbx1", 8443);In fact the problem was a username/password issue.
Thanks.I quote from reply #1 "The address is just "ippbx1" and not "https://ippbx1:8443/axl/". The protocol is not part of the IP address.".
