It would be possible, but I think that it would require configuration of a
CGI on the web server.

The scheme I envision would involve having the applet send the image data
to the web server as the data portion of a POST request. The CGI on the
web server would simply echo that content back to the client. MIME type
would be .jpg ... or maybe binary/octet-stream to force a File->Save on
most web browsers.

Unfortunately, I fear that installing a simple CGI on the web server would
be well beyond the capabilities of the vast majority of Jmol users.
