Bug 121546 Cannot validate Javadoc URL starting with https
3.2 M4 On the Javadoc location properties page is possible to define a Javadoc URL. There is also a button to validate the specified location. If the URL starts with https a message pops up saying "Unable to validate location". Is this by design or is https not supported?
org.eclipse.jdt.ui/ui/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/ui/preferences/JavadocConfigurationBlock.java
public ZipDialogValidator() {
			super();

		/*
		 * @see ISelectionValidator#validate(Object[])
		 */
		public IStatus validate(Object[] selection) {
			String message= ""; 
			return new StatusInfo(IStatus.INFO, message);
		}
	}
