easier is to set appletProxy. This relays ALL file requests through your
server and would require no changes to SMILES, PDB, or EDS (electron density
server) defaults.

set appletProxy "URL"

*Sets the URL for a proxy server when loading a file or reading a pmesh or
isosurface or when reading a file-based script. A proxy server is a
server-side application (typically written using PERL, PHP, or ColdFusion)
on the same host as the JAR file that can deliver files from other servers
on the internet. Jmol appends "?url=" followed by the URL of the requested
data file to the indicated proxy server name. Note that Java security
requires that this call be to the same server that hosts the JAR file.
