Hi.
After scanning the java security FAQ archives, it appears (?) that
the Netscape(4.0+) and/or IE(4+) browsers cannot use the JAVA plugin when
loaded from an html page downloaded from a secure (https) server?
I want my client machines to run applets which happen to use swing set
components. Therefore, the browsers need to load the plugin. The applets
must come from an HTTPS server.
Am I correct that it is not possible to do this? Is there a work-around
(other
than installing the jdk on all clients and running the local VM via the
classpath?)
Thanx,
Sharon D. Guerra
