Applet, when laucnhed from desktop shortcut ,should be allowed to connect to webserver where it's hosted/originated. For example if applet is hosted on server "ABC" and trying to read and write to socket on this webserver, then it should be allowed. It's working fine for applets running inside the browser or dragged out of the browser but not for applets launched from Desktop shortcuts. it's working fine when applet JNLP is launched using javaws.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Load following applet inside the browser

2) Enter Port "51135" inside the TextField and press "Connect" and make sure that applet is getting connected successfully

3) Drag applet out of the browser and close the browser or refresh the browser.
4) There should be pop-up to create a shortcut. Click "OK" and make sure that shortcut is getting created
5) Launch the same applet from desktop. Try to make connection my entering the port "51135" and if it fails to make connection then bug is reproduced
