Description
When using an SSL secured connection to a WebSocket server in a Java-Applet only the certificates in the keystore of the JRE (cacerts file) were checked.
If using a [HttpsURLConnection](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/HttpsURLConnection.html) in a Java-Applet it automatically uses the system keystore (Internet Explorer on Windows) or the browser keystore (Firefox).
The websocket client should behave like the HttpsURLConnection.
