Greg:

You have to lose the buffered reader and do it "the old fashioned way". 
Looking at the structure, however, I can't see any direct reason for
BufferedReader to be in violation of the security manager.  O'Reilly
says it's just an analog of InputStream optimized for character streams
instead of bytestreams.  That leads me to conjecture that the VM
implementation in the browser has applied yet another arbitrary
"security" rule.

Have you tried it IE or Hot Java?  If it works in HotJava then you are
most likely hitting a Browser specific limitation.  If it doesn't work
in HotJava then there may be a real reason for the security limitation
but not one of the ones you can find out via "traditional" mechanisms.
