the remote repository is only accessable through http; it is not possible to access it via https.
i needed to modify two methods in the class httputils to get this running (see below).
----------------------------------------
public static void getFile( String url,
File destinationFile,
boolean ignoreErrors,
boolean useTimestamp,
String proxyHost,
String proxyPort,
String proxyUserName,

// *** MODIFIED - BEGIN ***
// need to create url with separated parameters

{

new javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier() {
public boolean verify(String hostname, javax.net.ssl.SSLSession session) {
return true;
}
}
);
}

Major
unable to access remote repository via https
HttpsURLConnection is a 1.4 java class. Thus, we cannot use it.
Perhaps, we can use Jakarta HttpClient instead of jdk api.
