Applet and HttpOnly cookies in IE 6.0 SP1

Question

Hello all.
I am working on a trusted file upload applet. This applet creates a
HttpURLConnection object and simulates a browser POST request. It
uploads form variables and also sends one or more files to the server.
Microsoft has introduced support for a new kind of cookie in Internet
Explorer 6.0 SP1. This is called as a "HttpOnly" cookie and scripts do
not have access to this cookie. (The cookie does not show up in
document.cookie variable).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dncode/html/secure10102002.asp
My server side script that receives the request is an ASP.NET script.
Since ASP.NET 2.0, the ASPNET_SessionID cookie is sent as a httpcookie.
When my applet does the POST request, it is able to pick up all the
cookies, but the ASPNET_SessionID cookie. This is causing my session to
expire. Is there a way I can pick up HttpOnly cookies too?
This problem exists only when I'm using the Sun Plugin for IE. When I
use MS JVM everything is fine. I'm using Sun Plugin version 1.4.2_04.
Any help is appreciated.

Naveen,
  Normally the browser should support the javascript version you are using. The best way is to upgrade the browser to higher SP if it runs on a different SP.
Usually, Javascript erros are very abstract, so tough to handle. So, got to be careful when coding.
