Well that wouldn't be very secure if you could do that, would it?

I think the route you want to take is to configure your HTTP server to handle PUT requests, and then form a PUT in Java. That is described here:

However, your applet probably needs elevated permissions (in other words, a signed applet that operates outside of the normal sandbox). I'm not sure about that though; some connections are allowed back to the host so you might be OK.
