So there's no sockets, no local file access, no security
loopholes at all, huh? :-) Do you know whether Netscape will make
these things available as an option? We can't do what we want
to do without these things. We're talking about internal-only
enterprise networked distributed apps here, not "Joe Sixpack".
Could somebody at Netscape please explain the decision not to
implement sockets/local file access? If it is security
you are worried about, I understand, but please make it
available as an option for those of us who need it for enterprise
use. If it is simply too soon, when can we expect to see these
features?
We're getting ramped up and can't get any reliable info on whether
we should be using the alpha or the pre-beta API. The pre-beta
is obviously the best choice for real development, but we can't
show off anything we're doing except by using Alpha w/HotJava.
This, obviously, makes it hard to brag ourselves up :-)
Thanks,
Steve
