You can tell whether a site is Java based by looking at the url on the browser. If the extension of the page is .ASP or .ASPX, for sure it is not since that is the extensions for "Active Server Page" and "ASP.NET". Both are Microsoft things in the programming world. A Java page site will have the extension of JSP which stands for Java Server Page.
If i understand correctly, this is wrong for two reasons
1 - The warning refers to client-side Java, that is Java running on the user's computer. ASP pages can embed Java code to be run on the user's computer. Also, server-side JSP pages should be equally safe from this point of view, as long as HTML, CSS, Javascript but no Java is delivered to the client (vast majority of cases).
2 - Because a URL has ".asp" in its url doesn't mean it's ASP. You can easily instruct any server to use PHP or JSP or tens of other languages to "answer" to a request for a page that ends in ".asp", you don't even have to have asp installed. |
