General Purpose Applet Relay Server (Attachlet) 1.01

A socksified server that bridges clients or applets from a Web server inside a socks firewall to external servers or hosts.

Attachlet is a socksified server that bridges clients or applets from a Web server inside a socks firewall to external servers or hosts. It is written in Java and is installed on your Web server. Attachlet also allows you to manually create an inbound relay connection through the socks server. Attachlet is a "get-around" for the security restrictions of unsigned Java applets; it also serves as a gateway between your server and potential clients. You can add controls for choosing clients and the number of connections from a client/domain that can be connected to your server. You can also remove or ban selected clients.

Because this a "get-around" solution, it is assumed that the administrators of Attachlets understand the applets they serve from their Web sites that use Attachlet.
