Basically, you need a CGI script that runs on the web server.  What this CGI script
will do is (1) create a listener daemon to monitor an arbitrary socket port, (2)
index and store HTML that is sent to this socket port by your Java Applet and (3)
display the contents when sent the correct URL parameters.  Example: (1) script
listens on port 666, (2) applet sends "ID=12345,Contents=XYZ" to port 666, (3)
applet uses showDocument("http://some_server/cgi-bin/view?id=12345"), (4) script
reads ID=12345, transmits XYZ.

Suffice it to say, this is not a trivial job.  You will have to learn a whole new
set of tools to make it work.  Your best bet is definitely to use a HTML Java
component.
