sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl cannot be cast to sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection

i am using selenium library for testing purpose. But the following code giving me class cast exception. i have googled this exception but didn't get the solution. i am confused in Https connetion and http connetion. help me to solve this exception. thank you

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection;


public class TestMakeMySushi {

  private static final String HttpURLConnection = null;

   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, MalformedURLException, IOException {

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Dev-24\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
    driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(40, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    driver.get("https://www.makemysushi.com/404?");

    List<WebElement> linklist = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
    linklist.addAll(driver.findElements(By.tagName("img")));
    System.out.println("size of all link and images list" + linklist.size());
    List<WebElement> activelist = new ArrayList<WebElement>();

    for (int i = 0; i < linklist.size(); i++) {
        System.out.println(linklist.get(i).getAttribute("href"));
        if (linklist.get(i).getAttribute("href") != null && (!linklist.get(i).getAttribute("href").contains("javascript"))) {
            activelist.add(linklist.get(i));
        }
    }


    System.out.println("size of activelink list" + activelist.size());


    for (int j = 0; j < activelist.size(); j++) {

        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(activelist.get(j).getAttribute("href")).openConnection();
        connection.connect();
        String response = connection.getResponseMessage();
        connection.disconnect();
        System.out.println(activelist.get(j).getAttribute("href") + "----" + response);
    }
}
}

Exception that i am facing

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:   sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl cannot be cast to sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection
at TestMakeMySushi.main(TestMakeMySushi.java:76)

@KarolDowbecki's analysis was in the right direction.

Instead of sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection; HttpURLConnection should be resolved through:

import java.net.HttpURLConnection;

I was able to execute your program which produces the following output:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.net.www.protocol.mailto.MailToURLConnection cannot be cast to java.net.HttpURLConnection
    at demo.TestMakeMySushi.main(TestMakeMySushi.java:48)

Reason

The List activelist contains an element:

<a href="mailto:info@makemysushi.com" target="_blank"><i id="social-em" class="fa fa-envelope-square fa-3x social"></i></a>

When you are trying to establish a connection through the href attribute mailto:info@makemysushi.com as in:

HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(activelist.get(j).getAttribute("href")).openConnection();

A successful connection cannot be established as MailToURLConnection object can't be casted to HttpURLConnection object and raises java.lang.ClassCastException

Change your import statement for HttpURLConnection class from import sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection; to import java.net.HttpURLConnection;.

You are not supposed to use sun packages and classes in your application code. They are internal to JVM.

I was facing same issue because i imported

import com.sun.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;

remove that and import below

import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
