How to configure the applet ?
Why do I get always this host/IP address : localhost/127.0.0.1 ?
Why do I get the wrong time ?
Why it shows so few total/free memory ?
It is possible to see the e-mail adress of the visitor ?
What means : "And that's not all !" ?
- What does VasSystApplet ?
It takes and shows you the main information that an applet can obtain from the local client without catching security exceptions.
- How to configure the applet ?
Normally, you have nothing to configure in order to make it working.
- Why do I get always this host/IP address : localhost/127.0.0.1 ?
For security reasons, MSIExplorer always give this host/IP address (in order to avoid revealing IP addresses which are behind a firewall).
- Why do I get the wrong time ?
It's a Netscape 4 bug. Netscape developers think California is the center of the universe, so they always give PST (GMT-9) time. :-)
- Why it shows so few total/free memory ?
In fact, it shows the state of Java Virtual Machine's memory, and not the computer's one.
- It is possible to see the e-mail adress of the visitor ?
No it's not possible. Simply no way to have it. In fact, a browser is not obliged to have a integrated e-mail client (for example, IE3 hasn't). Even if the browser has one, not all the people configure it well and use this module.
- What means : "And that's not all !" ?
This means that I'm hardly working on a new version of VasSystApplet. :-) It will be available very soon. Stay tuned.
