87806 - Browser Cookies are not set in the HTTP header when JAVA applet performs URLConnection request

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 85827

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[bcortez]

Mozilla Build: 2001062504

Browser Cookies are not set in the HTTP header when JAVA applet performs 
URLConnection request.  When pages are requested directly by the browser, the 
cookies are set in the HTTP header and sent to the server.  However, when an 
applet withing a <APPLET> tag makes a URLConnection request for a page, the 
associated browser cookies are not set in the HTTP header.  This results in the 
server not receiving the necessary browser cookies. 

When a sessionid cookie is used to track the user's authenticated session, this 
bug causes the server to invalidate the request as coming from the same browser 
session (which in fact is incorrect).

Additional note: This bug has the exact same behavior as bug 87024 (fixed).  
However, this bug applies to the JAVA applet making the request for the HTML 
page and not the browser itself.
