Status in “icedtea-gcjwebplugin” source package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “openjdk-6” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: icedtea-gcjwebplugin Package: icedtea-gcjwebplugin 1.0-0ubuntu5 Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 My desktop PC is behind a non-transparent web proxy and I have this configured in my browser and system preferences. When attempting to load an applet (e.g. from http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml) the browser status changes to "starting applet..." but I see only a grey box. The log shows "netx: Initialization Error: Could not initialize applet. (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException testvmDynamicJavaComPopUp819)" To work around this I set up Squid as a transparent proxy and configured iptables to redirect web traffic to it. When this is enabled the applet loads successfully. I would expect the plugin to use the system or browser proxy settings for downloading class files. Instead it assumes a direct connection to the web. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
