Pretty cool.
Waaaa... I've seen that applet before, and it worked fine. Today,
attempting to load that page in Firefox 2.0 froze the browser and pegged
the CPU until I killed the process after about 2 minutes. Konqueror
loaded the page, but the applet never finished loading. Even after 10
minutes it had not finished loading the 200K Jython library. (The
applet provides a convenient timer that shows it has been trying for the
last 10 minutes.)
Bryan, does this illustrate why Java applets are currently a really bad
idea? Again, it's not really Java at fault here, it's the poor
integration. I suspect the JVM isn't getting the correct proxy settings
from the browser, which explains Konqueror's behavior, but Firefox's
behavior with applets is very nasty.
