Hello

I have similar problem on Hardy AMD64 with FF3 32 bit running Sun JRE
1.6 32bit

Applets work ok when they are accessed through HTTP
(http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml works perfect)

Problems start with applets over HTTPS. For example this page will not
run the applet (https://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml)

Interestingly when applet is signed then there are no issues  (this
works: https://jogl-demos.dev.java.net/applettest.html)

Best Regards,
Marcin

Trying Suns java 5 & 6, Iced tea as well as plain GCJ. None of them work with applets under SSL (https). Normal http applets load just fine.

Hardy, updated as of 2008-03-08. Intel, 32 bit. Several people have this problem, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=718018 for more info.

The actual places it happens to me live are URL:s I can't disclose, but these googled URLs seem to exhibit the same behaviour:

https://jadc.dev.java.net/
https://jogl-demos.dev.java.net/applettest.html

Which is, "Start: applet not initialized." and nothing more happening. It's the same for all the plugins. Plain HTTP works fine.

Bug #157721 might be related, but it seemed too uncertain.
