    Subject: signed applets?

    Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 14:27:08 -0500

Question:
I want to allow local file access when a "standard browser" is used. I =
understand the method by which HotJava can allow access to one =
directory, but how can I force Netscape Navigator 3.x or Navigator 4.x =
to allow access to local files? Do I need to issue a certificate =
independent of the Java app? Would it be better to create a signed =
applet? If a signed applet is better, how do I use it with the =
Netscape/Microsoft products?
I am writing a Java applet that will be posted on a web server, and it =
needs to store configuration files locally for each person that uses it.

Thanks,
Will
