Status: RESOLVED INVALID

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217 

Client - Mozilla 1.7.5
https Webserver - with authentication turned on

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
  From my applet when I tried to make a URL connection and geinputstream the
browser hangs. I have authentication turned on the webserver. I think the plugin
is trying to popup the login dialog and some how it can't do that and hangs
there.
This works okay with jre1.5 on windows
On Linux it works with jre1.4.2 but not 1.5

Here is the code

String str = "https://ppp.qqq.com/admin/test.gif";
    try {
      
      System.out.println("Getting ->" +str);
      URL url = new URL(str);
      
      URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
      
      if(con.getAllowUserInteraction())
        System.out.println("User interaction allowed");
      else
        System.out.println("User interaction not allowed");
        
      con.setDoInput(true);
      InputStream _inp = con.getInputStream(); //Hangs here
}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Access a website with applet
2.Inside the applet make a call to fetch some file from the webserver using
URLConnection
3.Have authentication turned on the webserver

Actual Results:  
Mozilla hangs. Have to use kill -9 pid to close the process.
Enabled http log on the browser and got the following log

Expected Results:  
The applet shold have been loaded normally.

The same problem happens with Firefox 1.0 also.

This is not a mozilla problem. SUN confirmed this as a bug in their jva plugin 
1.5. Here are the details

So please go ahead and close it.
