I have a Java Applet inserted on a simple HTML page located at http://localhost:8080/index.html:
The Java Applet has a method that looks similar to the code below:
public void PostStuffToServer() {
String server = "http://localhost:8080/PostHandler.ashx";
URL u = new URL(server);
URLConnection con = u.openConnection();
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.getOutputStream().write(stream.toByteArray());
con.connect();
}
When I execute the applet code from JavaScript like so:
obj = document.getElementById('applet');
obj.getClipboardImageURL();
I get the following error:
access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:8080 connect,resolve)
It seems like the Java code resolves the domain localhost to its equivalent IP address and therefore raises
