I would love to; however I am not the author of this applet. It
might be possible for the applet to do HTTP proxying, but we'd
have to teach it that by adding to its code. As for an HTTP-based
display, that's much harder for me to deploy, at least on
opensolaris.org, since it would need to be server-side code.
My suggestion would be to use mozilla, or get a copy of an IRC
client appropriate for your platform-- the better IRC clients
can use an HTTP proxy to help you get out.
