Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[jevans12]

I have a xul file registered as a chrome. In this xul file I have an applet.
When I invoke moz(v0.9.1) with 
mozilla -console -chrome chrome://appletInChrome/content/appletInChrome.xul
The java plug-in(v1.3.1) reports

java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: chrome

java.net.MalformedURLException:unknown protocol: chrome
at java.net.URL <init>(URL.java:480)
at java.net.URL <init>(URL.java:376)
at java.net.URL <init>(URL.java:330)
at.sun.plugin.navig.win32.PluginObject.setDocumentURL

I tried specifing the applet with both html:applet and html:object tags
although I need liveconnect so due to other LC bugs im using applet tag.

This is a very interesting bug.  Please be aware that the java plugin uses 
java.net for non all protocols save HTTPS.  This means that if java doesn't 
have a protocol handler for chrome, it will just fail.  This smells like an 
RFE.  I'll file it that way into sun's bug system.

I have filed bugtraq bug 4475610 as an RFE on this.
