            Bug ID: 1523
           Summary: can't load applet with plus (+) in the url
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: IcedTea-Web
           Version: 1.4
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Plugin
          Assignee: dbhole at redhat.com

If the applet path contains a + symbol, it gets converted to %20 and the
download fails.

This is caused by netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/cache/ResourceTracker.java
addResource calling UrlUtils.normalizeUrl.  I know that + used to substitute
for a space, but from the RFCs there is no indication that that is correct.  At
least firefox and chrome and apache accept having a + in the url without
converting it.
