[Bug 532188] Re: 1.5rc2 applet fails to launch when running in Safari

 

I just tried Safari for Windows on http://ocl.sai.msu.ru/catalog/ ,
which runs latest version of WSC. Safari works nice there. Do you use
Safari on Mac? Does aforementioned site work in your Safari?

I have an idea that described behavior may be caused by opening file
from disk directly, not via http. This scheme causes some security
issues, so Safari may be blocking something.

Bug description:
I've integrated WebSampConnector with my website (http://astrogrid.roe.ac.uk/ravioli/). I'm using the latest 1.5rc2 version (as the documentation seems to be referring to this).

After unzipping the distro, if I open the 'demo.html' from from disk with firefox, then the demo works find, and I can connect to a hub.

However, if I do the same with Safari, the demo fails. In particular, the 'applet launch' dialogue does not appear. But, if I do the same with the 1.5 distro(downloaded from the voparis website, not launchpad), this launches the applet and connects to the hub fine.
