** Description changed:
JNLP has the <association> element, allowing web start apps to register
with the host desktop and browser as the handler for certain file
extensions and mime types. On Gutsy, this functionality does not exist.
Steps to repro:
1. I will upload a minimal web start project having the <association> element
set to <association extensions="fribid" mime-type="application/x-fribbity"/>
2. execute ant jws-run which will install the app. The app behavior isn't
relevant, we just want javaws to install and register it.
3. In Nautilus, locate file "delme.fribid".
- Expected behavior: Nautilus knows that javaws is the registered app to
pen ".fribid" files
+ Expected behavior: Nautilus knows that javaws is the registered app to
open ".fribid" files
Actual behavior: Nautilus detects delme.fribid as a text file.
4. Copy the file delme.fribid to an Apache web server
5. On the web server edit /etc/mime.types, add the line
"application/x-fribbity fribid"
6. Using Firefox on the Gutsy system, surf to the delme.fribid file
Expected behavior: Firefox launches javaws
Actual behavior: Firefox treats it as an unknown file type.
