GAE URL Fetch Service for HTTPS

My app is throwing this error:

[INFO] Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.google.apphosting.utils.security.urlfetch.URLFetchServiceStreamHandler$Connection cannot be cast to javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection
[INFO]  at info.modprobe.browserid.Verifier.verify(Verifier.java:76)

And the code causing the error is:

        URL verifierURL = new URL(this.url);
        String response = "";
        HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection) verifierURL
                .openConnection(); // error here...
        connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
        connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
                "application/json; charset=utf-8");
        connection.setDoOutput(true);

When trying to do Mozilla Personal Verification using this library. I wonder what could be the problem since GAE URL Fetch Service supports HTTPS.

Try

HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) verifierURL.openConnection();

instead of

HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection) verifierURL.openConnection();

It will create what it needs underneath, also for HTTPS, but don't force the cast to HttpS, because it uses a class (URLFetchServiceStreamHandler$Connection) taht extends HttpURLConnection but not HttpsURLConnection
