Squid is a HTTP proxy and only deals with HTTP traffic. For other traffic Squid is generally not involved at all.
For java applets to be able to open direct network connections when downloaded via a proxy you need to either have the applet signed by a trusted key or reconfigure the security properties of the java runtime in the browser to allow applets downloaded via proxies to open direct network connections.. (details varies with browser). And this obviously only works if the client computer can reach the Internet directly without using application level proxies. If the policy of the organization there the client is located requires the use of application level proxies for Internet access then an IIOP proxy is most likely required to be installed in the clients organization, and the applet rebuilt to be able to use IIOP proxies (if there even is such a thing, IIOP is not an area familiar to me) Regards Henrik Nordstr�m Squid developer fre 2003-02-07 klockan 16.40 skrev Connolly, Michael: > Greetings, > > Let me say up front that I know nothing about Squid except that it is a web > proxy server.
