Issue:- When applet sends POST data via browser, the server does not receive the same.
On checking the Java Console, the following error is displayed.

O.S :- Win XP, Service Pack 2
Browser:- I.E 6, Service Pack 2
Applet :- Signed Applet
VM :- Sun VM (1.4.2_06)

Note:- When MS VM is used, there is no issue, this is only happening with SUN VM.

Java Console details given below.
