I recently changed web hosts. My former host did not have support for Java. As a work around, I created an applet that opened a connection to a cgi script. The script dynamically created an html file and returned the address of the file back to the applet, which opened the new file.
When I moved everything over to the new host, I made sure that the paths and addresses referenced in the script and applet remained the same so that I would not have to change anything.
However, I am getting an IO exception.
My new hosting account is set up with one primary domain, and several aliased domains, such that the aliased domains are each folders under the primary domain account. When someone types in www.my_aliased_domain.com, I assume it is the A records or cname records are what have you that point to the subfolder primary_domain/my_aliased_domain.
My questions are (assuming the file paths and addresses are all correct) :
1.Since Java applets can only communicate with the host from whence they came, would these security restrictions block a connection to an aliased domain? 2.And if so, would should I get an IO exception or some other exception? 3.Should I try instead to connect to www.primary_domain.com/aliased_domain_folder/somefile.cgi instead of www.aliased_domain .com/somefile.cgi?
