Description
Problem:
 
The issue is that the JVM 1.4.2_10 or JVM 1.4.2_11 seems to continuously attempt to connect to the applet download location. 
This happens when calling:

    OutputStream aOutputStream = aUrlConnection.getOutputStream();  

The only thing that has changed between the 2 environments below is the JVM upgrade from 1.4.2_08 to 1.4.2_10.  Everything else is the same, and there is no reason that this should stop working.  Thus we feel that this is an issue with these patches of the plug-in.
 
We use SSL and LiveConnect in our environment.  The UrlConnection is for applet <==> servlet communication and we POST data from the applet to the servlet.
 
Expected Behaviour:
 
Looking in the Java Console using JVM 1.4.2_08 the proper output is below:
 

    Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_08
    Using JRE version 1.4.2_08 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

System Info:
 
So far we have only been able to reproduce this issue with one specific server configuration:

    Win2k3
    IHS 1.3.28
    WebSphere 5.1.1
They found this problem with WebSphere 5.1.1. 
They feel that this is a Plug-in problem is that everything works properly with 
any other plug-in patch level, and that the plug-in upgrade is the only variable 
that has changed in the environment.
