Five methods are essential in every applet:
public class Stop extends Applet { URL stopURL = null; String host = null; public void init() { try { stopURL = new URL(getParameter("STOPURL")); host = getParameter("host"); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { ; } } public void start() { } public void stop() { Socket s = null; try { s = new Socket(host, 80); PrintStream server_out = new PrintStream(s.getOutputStream()); server_out.println("GET " + getParameter("STOPURL") + " HTTP/1.0"); server_out.println(""); server_out.println(""); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e); } finally { try { if (s != null) s.close(); } catch (IOException e2) { ; } } } }
