Folks,

Do apologize if I am asking this same question over and over.
I have written a generic class that sends a message over Https to a Receiving Servlet


Now this Servlet sends a response back
to the calling class.
My doubt is this:

1)Is the response of this servlet to the class over https or http?
I am not specifying https in the Servlet
application,so I guess that the response
is over http,am I right?


I want the servlet to send a response over https as the response contains sensitive information.


Attached is the class and servlet.
Please can some one respond as to what do I need to do to send a secure response

public class HttpsHandler
{

public static String ec(String sMess,String sURL)

String uri = "https://" + sURL + "/server.com/ReceiveResponseServlet";


url = new URL(uri);

hpCon = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();

DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(hpCon.getOutputStream());

dos.writeUTF(sMess);


//Receive Response


DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(hpCon.getInputStream());


String response = dis.readUTF();



The Servlet:

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException


// Send response back.


System.out.println("Server sending Response Back..." );

DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(res.getOutputStream());

String sResponse = "Hello Client...This is server sending response ";

dos.writeUTF(sResponse);

Is the response of the server over https or http?
As I am not specifying https,how can the response be over https?or is the response over https?
