Hi everyone

I'm glad to announce that the annoyng http problem is solved by Magnus Kessler 
after some mail exchange and the large good effort to solve these bug from 
him..

The main annoyance was about new security provider from IBM, since SUN is not 
the only provider now ( no more extern packages ), so Magnus changed the Java 
code to "pattern recognize :-)" both of solutions, SUN using jsse.jar and IBM 
using security.jar

Magnus doesn't have cvs access, so i'll applly the patch in 
kdelibs/khtml/java, and since it's not harmfull neither causes a BIC, i'll 
apply to BRANCH too.

Magnus rises a question, and i believe that can be discussed here:

<paste from mail..>
And maybe the patch needs some more discussion as well. What happens when the 
next non-Sun java implementation comes around and does things differently yet 
again?
<end paste>

Since now major JRE's still are SUN and IBM, i'll commit the fix anyway. If a 
new player comes to the Java game, we can look the code again to a suitable 
solution.

Well, i believe that's all.

Ps. George, i believe that we now can kill a lot of bugs as i mention in first 
mail.. :-)
