Below code handles https and gives httpsclient for https url .. you need httpsclient to make request to https urls.

Might below code is of help to you:

public DefaultHttpClient getClient() 
   {
        DefaultHttpClient ret = null;

        //sets up parameters
        HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
        HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(params, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
        HttpProtocolParams.setContentCharset(params, "utf-8");
        params.setBooleanParameter("http.protocol.expect-continue", false);

        //registers schemes for both http and https
        SchemeRegistry registry = new SchemeRegistry();
        registry.register(new Scheme("http", PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80));
        final SSLSocketFactory sslSocketFactory = SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory();
        sslSocketFactory.setHostnameVerifier(SSLSocketFactory.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
        registry.register(new Scheme("https", sslSocketFactory, 443));

        ThreadSafeClientConnManager manager = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(params, registry);
        ret = new DefaultHttpClient(manager, params);
        return ret;
    }
