I'm using Java(TM) Plug-in JRE version 1.2 on NT4.0 service pack 3.
I'm able to specify additional policy files in the java.security file
in the form of "policy.url.X=file:".
However, the form of "policy.url.X=http:" will cause netscape to
stop responding. The last message the Java Console displayed is:
Opening http://xx.xx.xx.com/java.policy2
The java.policy2 is a valid policy file on my Web server.
Are http URLs supported?
If so, and bug report has not been opened on this problem please do so.

Thank you,
