Description

The example illustrated in section 2.6. Protocol schemes (at: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/connmgmt.html) fails to run with an IllegalArgumentException.

import org.apache.http.conn.scheme.Scheme;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory;
import org.apache.http.conn.scheme.Scheme;
import org.apache.http.conn.scheme.SchemeRegistry;
...
SSLSocketFactory sf = new SSLSocketFactory(
        SSLContext.getInstance("TLS"),
        SSLSocketFactory.STRICT_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
Scheme https = new Scheme("https", 443, sf);

The above fragment throws the following exception when executed

Am I missing something?
