Java Security

I've written a client/server application to send UTF-8 encoding text data back and forth via HTTP. The client sends a text request, the server processes it and then sends a text response. I wrote two simple methods that take a stream and either read or send data. Both the client and the server use the same send and read methods. The code executes and works correctly with plain sockets, but when I sub-classed the HTTP client and server classes to create SSL (HTTPS) sockets the request gets sent, the server processes it and as soon as it sends any data back to the client, the input stream on the client says first line it reads off is null and I can't read the response.

I'm creating a BufferedReader and BufferedWriter to read and write on the streams. When I set debug=ssl I get the following:

I printed out the InputStream just to make sure it was being created correctly and got

com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.AppInputStream@27e353

Any ideas why I am unable to read the response from the stream when using SSL?

thanks,
