Question : How do I do a HTTP post using SSL?

I have a simple piece of Java code that sends some form data to a URL, and gets the response. This works for non-secure HTTP, but how do I do the same thing using HTTPS/SSL?

Code Snippet:

                OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(requestConn.getOutputStream());
                wr.write(sPostData);
                wr.flush();
                    
                // GET HTTP RESPONSE
                BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(requestConn.getInputStream()));
                while ((sXMLResponse += rd.readLine()) != null) { }
                wr.close();
                rd.close();
                        
        } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("CREDIT CARD IDENTIFY FAILED [HTTP POST ERROR]: " + e.getMessage(), session);
                        return fwdFail;             
        }
 
} else if (sURL.startsWith("https://")) {
        try {
                                
                /* HOW DO I DO THIS? */
 
        } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("CREDIT CARD IDENTIFY FAILED [SSL HTTP POST ERROR]: " + e.getMessage(), session);
                        return fwdFail;             
        }
}
