Vishal,

Can you please provide more info about what the servlet does? Same
Origin Policy is usually for client side components (Applets,
Javascripts) and not for server side components.

Hi List,

 I have tested the following attack in Firefox and it has worked
 successfully, while I would not have expected this to work because of
 the same origin policy in Firefox. The Firefox version I am using is 
2.0.0.12.

 Can someone please explain why this attack works in Firefox.

 Thanks in advance...

 cheers
