I'm trying to load an html page that contains an applet, but an Exception is thrown when the page loads. Basically the message says that the URL connection returned error code 407, so I assume that the java plug-in (I'm using ver 1.4) cannot authenticate to the proxy to fetch the jar.
My proxy requires username and password authentication, so when I open a browser (Internet Explorer), a window pops up and requests that info. I have configured the plug-in to use the browser's proxy settings, but the plug-in's authentication window doesn't pop up when connecting (is there one
). So I have no way of providing the Username and Password to the proxy. I have also tried providing the proxy's host name and port manually (in the plug-in's settings window), but the authenticaton window still doesn't pop up.
Does anybody know how can I provide the username and password programatically, or by setting a system property, or by starting the plug-in with a certain parameter, or by any other means?
Thanks guys
