Hi,

please review new regression test for java.net.* API. This test check if the cacerts keytool database is configured properly and SSL is really working. The test should not fail if SSL is working (in other case it simply throws IOException). Webrev si available at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ptisnovs/TestHttps/ Thanks in advance Pavel Tisnovsky I suspect the dependency on verisign.com will be problematic. Isn't SSL already covered by the javax.net and https tests?

I'm not sure what the prime motivation of the test is. Pavel, can you please elaborate?

Reading between the lines I guess the test is verifying that the correct root Certification Authority is installed in cacerts, i.e. the cert from www.verisign.com can be validated.

Alan is correct there are already tests for SSL/Https in javax.net, but I believe these use self signed certs, no dependency on cacerts.
