From _applets_ I think they trust the browser's VM to have access to
the browser's SSL layer; at least it seems https URLConnections work
in both MSIE and Netscape.

The problem is that this will be different handler/connection classes
for the browsers, since they need to provide their own subclasses of
URLConnection for the purpose: Therefore you're unlikely to get any
useful information about the SSL use. The Java 1.2 crypto API should
provide a more general access to it, but that's not in the browsers'
VMs - yet.
