Dear Brian,
Great to hear the IE11 is being worked on and the pointer you supplied for the bug case. But please keep in mind that the applet runs into different problems in other versions of IE. I assume in addition to the latest version, you intend to support at least the one prior to the latest?
FYI, I have tested IE 8 thru 10, in addition to IE11. On IE 8 thru 10, a different exception occuers:
ExitException[ 3]java.lang.SecurityException: Bad applet class name
at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager.initAppletAdapter(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
The error is poped up only if you have turned on debugging in your Java Console, otherwise you don;t see it. BUT the tricky part of problems with pre-IE 11 versions is that following the exception, the applet quietly changes the default of the decyrption to online mode and the "OPEN" button changes to "OPEN Online". An unsuspected user who has not turned on the exception reporting (I suspect the majority), may as usually click the return and not recognizing that their sensitive document is sent to an online service for decryption.
Is there a fix underway for pre-IE 11 and other browsers (which their problems have been discussed earlier in this thread)? If so, could you please provide a pointer for those bugs as well?
The console log showing the exception for IE 10 is attached below.
Regards.
