Can Applet be forbidden to connect to the website form which it is downloaded?

I had a mock test, and a Qs asks that Applet can connect to the website from which it is downloaded with socket. I know this is true, but I do remember from some previous reading that this can be forbidden by configuration. Is my memory wrong?

David,
Yes. An applet can be forbidden from connecting to it's originating website by changing the java.net.SocketPermission attribute (in the policy file) by not having "connect" in it.
