431869 - citibank.com.sg - Java applet loading error on trunk

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Executive summary of bug 280143 comment 17 et seq:

There's some sort of Java funkiness going on at

https://www.citibank.com.sg/SGGCB/JSO/signon/DisplayCinSignon.do

If I enter garbage login data, I get a JS alert that says:

"An applet required to access Citibank Online services did not load correctly
in your browser. Click the OK button to find out how to set your browser
settings to access Citibank Online."

I get the same message in Camino trunk (with and without spoofing as Firefox 2) and Minefield. Firefox 2 and Camino 1.6 (as well as Safari) work fine.

Console shows

21:56:50 EDT 2008 JEP creating applet JEapplet
(https://www.citibank.com.sg/JCP/encapplet/)

after testing with Minefield, but that's probably not of any use to us, because it showed

I see exactly the same problem in today's trunk nightlies on Windows
and Linux.  So this can't be related to the JEP.

It's not even clear that this is a Mozilla.org problem at all.  This
site (like many other bank sites) may do some kind of browser/Java
version checking, which may be failing because it hasn't yet been
changed to accomodate Firefox 3.

Which would then make this TE, wouldn't it?
