Subject: Accessing Netscape's Hidden fields with signed applet

Do you know of a way to access the "proxy" field in Netscape Navigator
using a signed and trusted applet? The proxy people from Netscape say
that it is possible, but were very reluctant (obviously). I am on an
intranet that is trying to determine if connected users to a page have
the correct and secure proxy settings instead of using a DIRECT.

thanks in advance,
