    Subject: Reading files

    Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 04:04:19 PDT

at the following page

http://www.javasoft.com/docs/books/tutorial/applet/security/security.html

we can read : "Applets in any applet viewer can read files specified
with full URLs, instead of by a filename"

whereas Marianne Mueller at

http://java.sun.com/sfaq/

says : "Applets loaded into a Java-enabled browser can't read files."

??? That was not clear enough for me. All right, I'm gonna tell you what
I want : I wanted to add an applet in my page that would display some
informations from a *.txt file. I understand why for security reasons,
applets can't read files that are on the client but in this case, the
file I want to read to is on the server. Is that possible ?

Hmm... one more thing, by the way, could anyone tell me what is
Marianne's email ? It was not on the page. I think she might help me
find an answer to my question, too.

Respectfully...
