Here is an example of how you convert an Http URL to a secured URL (Https). Here I am assuming the URL will be fully standard i.e. even the default port 80 will be written after colon as :80 and same for default https port :443.
package com.google.test;
/**
* To compiple: javac -d . ConvertHttpToHttps.java
* To run: java com.google.test.ConvertHttpToHttps
*

*/
public final class ConvertHttpToHttps {
private static String url = "http://configure.google.com:80/AppStore/en/US/enterpriseMgr/AppStore";
public static void main (String[] args) {
System.out.println("url before replacing = " + url);
System.out.println("url after replacing = " + convert(url));
}
public static String convert(String url) {
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
if(url.startsWith("http://")) {
String strColon = url.substring(7);
result.append("https://");
int colonIndex = strColon.indexOf(":");
String portNumber = strColon.substring(0, colonIndex);
result.append(portNumber);
result.append(":443" + strColon.substring(colonIndex+3));
}
return result.toString();
}
}
