Ok. I can't use https from applet because I've realized that you can't
use methods like url.openConnection() nor url.openStream() if url is
'https' like.
This applet has to get images from server. You'll ask why I don´t use
getImage() or Toolkit.getImage(), the answer is that we don't work with
images, but with _encripted_ images (and it's a requirement not to
decrypt those images in the server), so we have to treat them as arrays
of bytes. So, as far as I know, I have to use url.openStream() or
url.openConnection().getInputStream() to get the blob of bytes with
encrypted images from the applet (with http, nor https) and then decrypt
and show them. But after that, I can't go back to other application's
page using https, because I'll have lost session data (user
authentication data, for example).
Hope my problem is better explained now, have you any idea or something
to correct?
Thanks,
Sergio

afaik there is no way to do that since this would break the
security-concepts of https.
you might be able to store the data needed in a dbms or a flat file,
however, that's a very poor design-concept, imho.
maybe you'd like to let us know why that requirement is?
