Communicating with HTTPS server with Client Authentication

[shankar_jcp]

Hi,

I need to do a Client Authentication with the server running on HTTPS
(from a Java code).

First, I thought of connecting and reading to a HTTPS server and try
Client Authentication later.

I failed in the first step itself. I could not connect to
https://mail.yahoo.com . It throws an the following error..
NOTE: I could get the connection and read the content of the server
running my company's internal network using the below code.

Please let me know if you guys have any idead about this one and also for
doing the Client Authentication
