I don't see how this is true.  HTTP is supposed to be a stateless, object-
oriented protocol which simply uses HTML as one of its glue objects.  Neither
the protocol itself, nor the HTML spec state that the objects themselves must
be stateless, nor does it attempt to define the objects. While I mistrust
the embedded VM's in the browsers, and personally don't like applets, it
is in no way the fault of HTML or HTTP.  The browser VM's just typically
suck.  Used with a good VM, and in a secure/unrestricted area, applets can
be a great tool.

Did you make sure that all your classes are o+rx, including the new
classes that you have just built?

I typically don't, but I don't see how that would cause this problem.

It is an especially bad idea to do development work on your system
under root.  Unless, of course, you enjoy re-entering all of your code,
and re-installing your system every few hours ;-)

Your umask is probably set to 027.  Check it by typing 'umask.'  If it
is set, you can make it less restrictive by doing 'umask 022.'  This will
give the owner read/write permissions, and group & other  read permissions
whenever you create a new file.
