Communicating with a remote host via HTTPS
- by user619818
I have developed a solution where a Java applet makes a socket connection to a port on a socket server (which happens to run on a web server).
But a new client has implemented https within their LAN and so I am told communication must be via HTTPS.
With standard socket communication you connect to a port on a host. But the clients HTTPS uses port 443. So will it be possible to connect to a socket server using a different port?
I assume it must be possible? Any help would be much appreciated.
