Thanks Sergiu,

As I know, unsigned applets cannot access random
resources on the web,
but just from the original server, so there's no way an external file
would work. This is a security feature of the applets, and there's
nothing we can do about it.
We could have a kind of proxy on the server that fetches external
mindmap files and returns them to the applet, so, for example, instead
of using an external URL, we would use
/xwiki/bin/view/MindMap/FetchExternal?url=http://www.example.com/my.mm
But still, from the screenshot I see that Uwe's file was local, and not
remote. Could it be just a broken mindmap file?
I get this message only from remote maps. Perhaps Uwe could share his
file to test it here. Or he could try with any of the maps available at
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Mind_Map_Gallery
From an user point of view here, I think it will be easier to upload
the file as an attachment instead of loading it from a remote site.
Remote files will be great while freely available, as if stored in
/~public_html folders, but if stored in restricted access directories we
will be forced to face again the "pass username and password in the URL"
issue.
Cheers,
Ricardo
