Yep. It also brings up that whole responsibility thing. Why do they make you
sign it if they're not going to do even a nominal check on the signature, I
wonder? :-)

Last I looked (and that was a while ago), Java applets had to be served from
the same host the HTML that embeds them come from.
Myself, I use amazon.com's s3 service for sloshing web files around. You can
set the content type as you need it there, make stuff public or private,
etc, and it's super cheap. (I think I wind up payin <$2/month to store all
the random crap up there I have.) There's no execution, you can't easily
put a home page on it (since http://..../ doesn't default to redirecting to
http://..../index.html or anything like that), and as I said the applet
probably has to come from the same place as the html.
That said, you could put an HTML page up on your expensive host that's
simple meta-refresh redirect to an HTML page on amazon that references the
applet.

I don't really do anything web-sophisticated on my own dime any more, so I'm
kind of out of date on the options.
