Greetings,
I have a signed CAB file for IE and am serving it to IE browsers (4 and 5) with
the
mime-type as application/x-compressed and application/octect-stream.
In both cases IE recognizes that is is signed, presents a certificate for
validation
(full permissions), runs the applet when the user OKs the certificate, and then
promptly throws a MSSecurityException when the applet tries to contact a tcp/ip
server that is not on the same box as the the server where the servlet served
the
CAB file from. It works fine if the other tcp/ip server is on the same box as
the
serving servlet.
Has anyone run into the problem before? I've guessed that maybe the mime type
is wrong so I've looked at Apache, Jigsaw and Acme source to see how they
handle CAB files, but I've been unable to even find a mime mapping for .cab
files.
What IS the mime type for .cab files? Can IE recognize the certificate on a
signed
.jar file (it didn't appear so in our initial tests). Using the Sun plug-in for
this
applet is not an option (unfortunately).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
