Hi,I'm trying to write an Java applet that will send an object, via a TCPsocket, to a Java application running on the same machine.  It worksin Opera and Mozilla, but it doesn't work in Firefox - the Javaapplication appears to receive an incoming connection, but neveractually reads the object.Any ideas how to resolve this problem?Code://///////////////////// APPLET ////////////////////////////import java.applet.Applet;import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;import java.net.Socket;public class AppletClient extends Applet {    private Socket socket;    private ObjectOutputStream oos;    public void start() {        System.out.println("Hello there!");        try {            String host = getCodeBase().getHost();            socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 55000);            oos = new ObjectOutputStream(newBufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream()));            TestObject t = new TestObject("Hello!");            oos.writeObject(t);            oos.flush();            oos.close();        }        catch (Exception e) {            e.printStackTrace();        }    }}/////////////////////// APPLICATION ////////////////////////////import java.io.BufferedInputStream;import java.io.ObjectInputStream;import java.net.ServerSocket;import java.net.Socket;public class Server {    private static ServerSocket serv;    private static Socket sock;    private Server() {    }    public static void main(String[] args) {        try {            serv = new ServerSocket(55000);            System.out.println("Server listening on port " +serv.getLocalPort());            sock = serv.accept();            System.out.println("Received connection: " +sock.getInetAddress()                                           + ":" + sock.getPort());            ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(newBufferedInputStream(sock.getInputStream()));            System.out.println("Opened input stream.  Attemping toread object.");            TestObject t = (TestObject) ois.readObject();            ois.close();            t.print();        }        catch (Exception e) {            e.printStackTrace();        }    }}/////////////////////// OBJECT TO SEND ////////////////////////////import java.io.Serializable;public class TestObject implements Serializable {    private String s;    public TestObject(String s) {        this.s = s;    }    public void print() {        System.out.println(s);    }}Thanks,Duncan Jones

Whichnaturally worries me a bit, but I'll just cross my fingers and see...
