Comment 10 for bug 198093

Searching further lead me to: http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177

This bug was resolved as invalid. Bug 177 was caused by a certification issue. Here comes in the logic. When I connect to my compaq device, firefox starts complaining about the fact that the certificate can't be verified with any of its know CA's. So I have to force firefox to accept the certificate. What now think based on the link above is that icedtea is unable to fetch the java files from my compaq device because it does not accept the certificate of the device.

Do I now think in the right direction or am I way off here?

A workaround for an issue like this is provided here:
