Because of a security fix for Java Plug-in 1.2.2, in order for cookies to be returned in Netscape 3/4, the URL must be based on the applet’s document root. The protocol, host, and file path (not including the filename) must be a subset of the URL that was requested. Please note that the comparison between the applet document root and the URL is case sensitive.
