Applet interception of HTTP request

OK, I know this isn't striclt a servlet/JSP question, but i dont really want
to sign up to another mailing list and get another load of emails...

but in a sense its an 'anti' servlet question.  im thinking about writing an
applet that does client-side work, before submitting the results to the
server. Id like the applet to parse a file. As of now, because i want the
applet to be embedded in a JSP page which does a file upload, I want to know
if there is any way of diverting the HTTP request THROUGH the applet, so
that the file can be parsed, or if I will simply HAVE to create a signed
applet that reads the file directly from the client's HD...

anyone?
