In my SIGNED applet, I try to show an image:

String pImage = "/images/myimage.gif";
Image image = getImage(getDocumentBase(), pImage);

The document base is

https://doc_domain/path/ (notice the 's' in https)

The codebase is a different domain:

http://code_domain/path/ (no 's')

When the applet runs, something quite unexpected happens: the
applet first tries to fetch the image from the server at
code_domain!!!. In its web log, i can see that it has tried to fetch

http://code_domain/images/myimage.gif

then, a second later, it fetches the intended image at

http://doc_domain/images/myimage.gif

It has no effect to actually put an image file on the codebase server.
The image eventually diplayed is the right one - the one from the
doc_domain server.

I've tried it on different Java versions, and it appears to not do it
on versions 1.3 or lower, though I'm not quite sure about it.

Also, I've tried

URL url = new URL(getDocumentBase(), "/images/myimage.gif");
Image image = getImage(url);

- same result.
