ok. This is even more tricky.

The site is full of 302 redirections.
Both for jnlp  - the final one (fourth!) is https://java.net/downloads/electric/WebStartFiles/electricAnt.jnlp
However also jars are burned under several layers of redirections, so the app did not start anyway. This is bug and needs to be fixed.
