Hi,

Something crossed my mind re: proxying web requests with java applets. 
Java applets are not cacheable, at least with my setup (CERN httpd running
as caching proxy for outgoing http requests). This is not such a huge
problem right now; simply tell the server not to cache those sites that
contain java applets. However, as the popularity of java grows, this will
become a major headache. 

>>If they are, I can think of a few hackers who suddenly have a whole new
backdoor into big corporate networks.  Of course, even cacheing regular old
boring web documents can be a security risk.
