            Bug ID: 1729
           Summary: Launch failure -- can't load jar file via https
           Product: IcedTea-Web
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Plugin
          Assignee: dbhole at redhat.com

I have two Fedora 20 x86_64 systems. On one, I can't run a particular java app
in Firefox, and on the other, the exact same java applet works just fine.

I tried creating a brand new Firefox profile and the problem persisted.

Here's the start of the output in the java console on the machine that's not
working:

Attempted to download https://xvm.mit.edu:446/static/VncViewer.jar, but failed
to connect!
Application title was not found in manifest. Check with application vendor
JAR https://xvm.mit.edu:446/static/VncViewer.jar not found. Continuing.
JAR https://xvm.mit.edu:446/static/VncViewer.jar not found. Continuing.

For some reason the other Fedora 20 x86_64 system is having no trouble opening
the same jar file. Furthermore, I can download it directly by feeding that URL
to firefox or by downloading it with "curl".

Note that I've enabled debugging in itweb-settings and it doesn't print any
more information than shown above.

If there's anything else I can do to help diagnose this, please let me know.
