problem displaying applet

[Rick Lloyd <rickl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm having a problem displaying a very simple applet.

System Info:

httpd -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin)
Server built:   Mar 20 2005 15:08:27

MacOSX 10.4.9

Firefox 2.0.0.3
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) 
Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

The problem also appears using the Safari browser that ships with OSX.

Symptom:

Very simple applet, SimpleApplet.class from SimpleApplet.java (attached) 
called from SimpleApplet.html (attached).

On my local machine, which is running httpd-1.3.33, hitting the URL 
http://mymachine.fully.qualified.address/~rickl/SimpleApplet.html fails 
to load.  I get a diagnostic that reads:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: SimpleApplet.class
   several lines of detail
Caused by: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection failed
   at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.getBytes(AppletClassLoader.java:271)
   more lines of detail.

However, when I hit the URL http://localhost/~rickl/SimpleApplet.html 
everything works fine.
Also, if I hit the fully qualified  address from any other machine, the 
applet works fine.

This behavior only happens in a browser running on the machine that is 
hosting the page/applet.

Any thoughts?
Rick

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Color;

public class SimpleApplet extends Applet{

  String text = "I'm a simple applet";

  public void init() {
        text = "I'm a simple applet";
        setBackground(Color.cyan);
  }
  public void start() {
        System.out.println("starting...");
  }
  public void stop() {
        System.out.println("stopping...");
  }
  public void destroy() {
        System.out.println("preparing to unload...");
  }
  public void paint(Graphics g){
        System.out.println("Paint");
        g.setColor(Color.blue);
        g.drawRect(0, 0,
                   getSize().width -1,
                   getSize().height -1);
        g.setColor(Color.red);
        g.drawString(text, 15, 25);
  }
}
