Most web servers will allow you to set this up at the server level.  I'd suggest

doing that as your best bet.

I wouldn't do it in an applet.  That's because the client sits on the user's
machine
as it runs.  What's the point?

Perhaps a Java servlet on the server could do it as well.  Servlets sort of take

the place of CGI.  You may want to investigate them.
