Try going to java.sun.com and search for the keyword java.net . That is a package that you can import that has a wealth of included methods for connecting to http server.There is also a javax.com package that is great too. I would look for the keyword mail also. I would suspect that the book that they are giving away would be extremely helpful for you as well. Good Luck!
Unfortunately, using SSL with Apache isn't as easy as you would wish SSL support is not built into the Apache webserver; you need an add-on module for that. There are two main flavours, Apache-SSL and mod_ssl. To use one, download it together with the Apache source and recompile the lot. You would expect there to be plenty of precompiled tars and rpms with an SSL-capable Apache but when I needed one a couple of months ago I was sorely disappointed. You might have a bit more luck though. See this article in Apache Week for more (high-level) information about using SSL with Apache. - Peter
