115064 - Tarantella.com - pages won't load - gives file missing error

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Christopher W. Curtis]

Sorry for the vague description here, but if you go to any tarantella server
(the above is a free online demo) Mozilla [Linux; 2001121206 and previous] will
not load the leftmost frame (Java Required).  Instead, Tarantella reports a
missing file.  However, this works correctly with Netscape 4, IE 5 & 6, and
Konqueror (iirc).  The rewritten URL (once you log in) is
http://tarantella.allegrix.net/cgi-bin/ttawebtop.cgi/resources/webtops/sco/tta/demowebtop/locale=en-us/?no=10&ts=Thu+Dec+13+10%3A11%3A56+EST+2001
and I can verify on my own system that this does indeed exist.  The URL that
appears in Netscape 4.77 starts with
http://tarantella.allegrix.net/cgi-bin/ttawebtop.cgi/resources/webtops/sco/tta/demowebtop/locale=en-us/left.html?

using build 2001121312 on Linux with JRE 1.3.1, I do not even get there, here's

Confirming on WinXP with JRE 1.3.1 and 1.4.

I think we are using the EMBED tag which doesn't have a CODE attribute, but a
"java_CODE". Does it work if that is changed to "CODE"?

Attachment: content of second (hidden) frame

This is second frame which loads tarantella applets.
It can be used for testing w/o interferring with 'applet missing CODE attr'
exception.
If you open java console, you'll see message 
"Tarantella 3.11.903: No proxy server configured".

You ask me how they do get proxy server? 
Well, they do some good job detecting what OS applet is running on and
trying to behave correspondingly. There is only one small problem - they 
do that based on value of java property "java.vendor" and test it only
against "Microsoft" and "Netscape" values.... hah, Mozilla uses Sun's 
java :-)))

So I propose to close this bug as INVALID

Comment 5

[Denis Antrushin]

Well, actually I meant not to close it, but to say that I cannot do anything else,
cause I'm behind firewall :-)

-->over to Evangelism

From Denis' description, sounds like Tarantella needs to update their web site.
