Description

When connecting with the HttpClient to a website through the HTTPS-Protocol, SPNego Authentication does not work, because in the method GGSSchemeBase#generateGSSToken is the service name hardcoded to HTTP.
A workaround is to extend the class SPNegoScheme and override this method.
To fix this, I think it would be best to get the protocol from the current connection, but I don't how to get the connection in this class, so I can't provide a patch.
