connecting to remote server that requires SSL without SSL

[Jroyal]

hi, i have this applet orginal run by its developers via SSL to connect to another server via SSL..

Applet --- server

now i downloaded the applet and i want to run it from my pc to connect to the remote server but i get this error:
ContentControl.connect1(): caught Exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission URL HERE:80 connect,resolve)
23:35:38 ContentControl.connect1(): couldn't connect, calling disconnect()

If the server is expecting a secure connection, you need to use SSL.

Cheers,
Dian

There are two issues here.

One is that the error indicates the Java policy does not allow the applet to connect to external servers :

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission URL HERE:80 connect,resolve)


The other is that you appear to be connecting on port 80 (HTTP) rather than port 443 (HTTPS).
