Hi, I have to connect to a https url with username and password to read a file. I am not able to connect to the server (see the error log below). I do not have much java experience so I need help with this code. I would really appreciate some help to solve this! Thank you.

CODE: import lotus.domino.; import java.net.; import java.io.*; import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;

public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {

public void NotesMain() {

try { String username = "123"; String password = "456"; String input = username + ":" + password; String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode (input.getBytes());

//Open the URL and read the text into a Buffer
String urlName = "https://server.org/Export.mvc/GetMeetings?modifiedSince=4/9/2010";
URL url = new URL(urlName);
HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();

connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setAllowUserInteraction(true);
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);

connection.connect();
