What is SSL/TLS and how is it used in Java?
SSL/TLS is used to encrypt HTTP traffic in Java, primarily for securing HTTP connections and is mostly handled by the `HttpURLConnection` class.
Thatâ€™s partially correct. SSL/TLS can secure HTTP traffic, but it's more commonly used in HTTPS, and the `SSLSocketFactory` is the primary way to manage SSL connections.
Can you clarify how SSL/TLS can be applied in Java to other types of connections, not just HTTP?
