Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Trying Suns java 5 & 6, Iced tea as well as plain GCJ. None of them work with applets under SSL (https). Normal http applets load just fine.
Hardy, updated as of 2008-03-08. Intel, 32 bit. Several people have this problem, see: http://
The actual places it happens to me live are URL:s I can't disclose, but these googled URLs seem to exhibit the same behaviour:
https:/
https:/
Which is, "Start: applet not initialized." and nothing more happening. It's the same for all the plugins. Plain HTTP works fine.
Bug #157721 might be related, but it seemed too uncertain.
This is probably partly a duplicate of #173966 which is about Sun's java plugin not registering correctly with Hardy's firefox 3. You probably just tried with old icedtea java plugin which has now been removed from the archive. Could you uninstall all icedtea-java7 packages and try reproducing this with new icedtea- gcjwebplugin ?
