I have following configured and working with HTTP (no problem)
Apache/2.0.59 (Win32) mod_jk/1.2.18 mod_ssl/2.0.59 OpenSSL/0.9.8b

But when I use HTTPS, following applet code is having nothing in the inputstream

url = new URL(getServerURL() + "/ejbproxy.do");
urlConn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
urlConn.setDoInput(true);
urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
urlConn.connect();
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(urlConn.getOutputStream());
osw.write(EJBProxyUtils.HOME_NAME + "=" + homeName);
osw.write("&" + EJBProxyUtils.HOME_METHOD_NAME + "=" + homeMethodName);

int statusCode = urlConn.getResponseCode();
System.out.println("statusCode "+statusCode);\\this is getting printed up.
if (statusCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK)
{
InputStream is = urlConn.getInputStream();
if (is.available() > 0)
{
}
else
{
System.out.println("got nothing");\\this always getting printed up in case of https.
}

}

All https request-response via apache from IE browser (client) is going on correctly, the only issue is when I am sending https (http is working) request via applet.
Also the access log of webserver is showing status 200 with 20 bytes in response and ssl_request_log at apache is showing correct response with same bytes but its not coming to applet (client).
Application server is Jboss 4.0.3SP1

Further, this only happening in case I am going via apache but when I am directly hitting my app server everything works fine.
can anybody help me here ?

do any body encountered the same issue while working with html pages as wel as applets in html and faced issue while communicating through applet but not with HTML forms in the IE.

so the question is why is it happening in applet-servlet communication only and that too with https and not with http.

amy i missing something in the configuration of open ssl.

I encountered this problem. Did you manage to find a workaround or solution for this problem? Thanks.

Are you sure you getting the right url with getServerURL() ? Does it also have the https:// prefix? I could be that it just return the server name and tries to connect. Than the browser won't allow an applet on a https page to connect to http something.

Second thing, is you connector able to establish a SSL connection?

For my case, I'm using getCodeBase() to get the URL.
URL url = new URL(getCodeBase(), "testServlet");

When I connect via Apache (e.g. https://www.test.com), I can get urlConn.getContentLength() but the is.available() is always returning 0. However, if I connect directly to JBoss server (e.g. https://www.test.com:4443), I can get both urlConn.getContentLength() and is.available().

Do you connect to the JBoss over mod_jk or mod_proxy_ajp or directly with the applet?

We have a rewrite to force all http connections to redirect to https connections.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

We are using mod_proxy to redirect to JBoss SSL port (i.e. 4443).
ProxyPass / https://localhost:4443/
ProxyPassReverse / https://localhost:4443/
