I believe that's how Sun originally had it, but changed it due
to complaints that it made setting PATH and using auto-JRE updates
incompatible.

In lieu of medium security, you now get to white-list specific URLs.
However, note you cannot (as of now) white-list any IPv6 addresses.
Also, you need to white-list both the domain name and the IP address;
white-listing one doesn't imply white-listing the other.

For testing locally, you probably need to set the white-list
(add to the "exception list") to include:

   http://localhost
   http://localhost.localdomain
   http://127.0.0.1
   https://localhost
   https://localhost.localdomain
   https://127.0.0.1
   file:///

(Note, you get warnings about using HTTP or FILE protocols.)
