SpecheBox Authorization Request

The SpecheBox is a signed Java applet published by Speche's parent company Courtroom Connect.  Our certificate is verified by ThawteTM.
You must choose Run to use the SpecheBox.  Your authorization is required to connect to our broadcast server, communicate with proxy servers, and to interact with your operating system (To COM and To File).
You will receive this pop-up every time you use the SpecheBox if you uncheck the "Always trust content from this publisher." checkbox.  See Remove Certificate for instructions to remove our certificate.
If you choose Cancel, the SpecheBox will not function.  You will need to close all browser windows and then reload the SpecheBox to receive this request again.

Connection Troubleshooting

The SpecheBox is a signed applet that connects to text.speche.com:80 when initialized, using HTTP 1.0 or 1.1.  The SpecheBox is proxy aware and will utilize a proxy when detected.  It will honor authenticating proxies as well as the proxy exception list.  For encrypted connections, the SpecheBox generates a 1024 bit RSA keypair and inserts its public key into the request header.  The request is in the form of a METHOD POST to /livestream.aspx asking for a persistent HTTP connection.  The response is a stream of MIME type application/octet-stream (encrypted for encrypted connections...).  Once the applet is connected, the server will send a "pulse" every 3 seconds during periods of inactivity in order to keep the connection from timing out due to inactivity.  If a connection is lost, the SpecheBox will try to reconnect perpetually or until the server tells it the event it is trying to connect to does not exist.
