I have been able to open a socket to "the host where the html page
came from." I've verified that it works in the following versions:
2.0b4 on Solaris, 2.0b4 on Windoze NT, and 2.0b5 on Windoze NT. It
didn't work in 2.0b3 on Solaris.

HI,
I quote from the FAQ:
Applets are not allowed to open network connections to any computer,
except for the host that provided the .class files. This is either
the host where the html page came from, or the host specified in the
codebase parameter in the applet tag, with codebase taking
precendence.
I tried all manners (I think) of doing this and it fails. Any idea
why? Is
the FAQ wrong, am I wrong or is Netscape bugged? I can accept not
being able
to read/write files and have access to the internals of my system
except from
the applet viewer but this is documented stuff.
I also heard about a patch that fixes this problem. Where can this
patch be
found? What are the implications when installing it?
Thank you for any/all reponses.
