Turns out I was going to a site that uses Secure HTTP (https). And you just cannot access such a site without some setup. Okay. I know Internet Explorer can get to the site. So I click in my browser to access the root certificate the browser uses to access the https site. That root server is VeriSign.
I export the certificate to a file. Then I use my new friend orapki. This is a command line program used to set up my wallet. I first create the wallet. Give it a password plus a location on my file system where the wallet will reside. Then I add the VeriSign certificate to the wallet. I have got to be good to go now.
Well there is good new and bad. The good news is that Oracle let's me go out to the Internet and download web content. The bad news is that the web site thought I was a bot (I am). So I could not get the actual content I desired. Now I might need to figure out how to trick this web site into believing I am just another web browser.
