If the applet uses java.net.HTTPUrlConnection to talk to the server from Java, it doesn't have to log in separately... the cookies from the browser's login are automatically used by the Java communications. At least, it works for me, and this document indicates that it should be portable (unless we care about Netscape 4 :): http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/cookie_support.html Carl --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
