Contains the classes and interfaces that implement low level communication details. As of 08/03/2003, this implementation is internal and to be used only by the command line interface over HTTP.

## Package Specification

The classes and interfaces support HTTP and HTTPS transport. The server side web application is such that it imposes configurable J2EE security and requires specific HTTP headers before the client can create a connection. The client side is a plain HTTP(S) client and reads/writes Serialized Java objects from the socket input/output streams. The sockets are closed after every request is processed. Leverages the connections provided by java.net.URL.
