I think you and Mike were talking about two different problems. I am almost positive that Java 1.3 does not include an SSL library, and this is the reason why the applet viewer cannot connect to https URLs. However, when using Java 1.3 in the context of Mozilla, the HTTPS connectivity is provided by the browser, so the applets are loaded over HTTPS by the browser, then run by the Java 1.3 plug-in. It sounds like there were some bugs in the JVM that only occurred if the applets were loaded from HTTPS URLs, which were in the latest JVM patch. But this alone won't enable you to connect over secure URLs with the standalone applet viewer, however. You would need to have a Java SSL library as well as an applet viewer problem capable of using it. -- "Except for the lack of debugging and the ps thing, [Linux] kernel threads are generally fine right now.
