Subject: security problem with the showDocument method

Hi,
When i use the Applet method: showDocument with netscape, i can download a file in the
client disk (with an ftp url) without any question. I think that, normally, an applet
cannot change the client disk.
With internet explorer i have a modal dialog asking if i want to dowload the file.
I use the default parameters with netscape and internet explorer, so i think that
netscape is less secure than ie in this case.
With best regards
Michel Liquiere
