|Here is a better model. Distinguish between two kinds of applets. One kind
|can write back to the originating host but can only read from that host as
|well. Another kind can read from any host but can write nowhere. The latter
|kind would be my "information harvester".
|
The "read from any host" applet can actually write too by using the
request to set up the read connection as a way to pass information
back. For example, it could request from it's originating host
to open the url http://myhost/sami's_password_is_foobar
