Subject: Viewing a signed applet in netscape.
I tried downloading the Duke signedApplet example that writes a file to
the /tmp directory. It works in appletviewer, but in Netscape 4.01a it
says could not resolve IP for host java.sun.com. I am using JDK 1.1.3
Is this happening because Navigator 4.01a does not support x509? How
does Navigator know where my certificates live?
I made it work in appletviewer by following the recipe (javakey -ic Duke
Duke.x509 etc.)
I also wrote a java applet that calls native methods that access files
in the project directory. It works fine in appletviewer, but in
Navigator it throws a security violation: it says that the files are not
in the code base of the project directory. I even tried incorporating
the files into the .jar archive.
