How to read HTTPs URL in JAVA

Hi,

Below are a java method that read HTTS response from URL.I hope,it will be helpful. 

// @required import files 
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;

import javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManager;
import javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager;

import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.auth.AuthScope;
import org.apache.http.auth.UsernamePasswordCredentials;

import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.conn.SingleClientConnManager;
import org.apache.http.params.BasicHttpParams;
import org.apache.http.params.HttpParams;
//end
