You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK,

Status in “icedtea-gcjwebplugin” source package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Ubuntu 8.04.1 Firefox 3.0.4  icedtea-gcjwebplugin 1.0-0ubuntu8

Running TWiki, and using http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/TWikiDrawPlugin this plugin (java applet).
and TemplateLogin (cookie base authentication).

When I have the gcj based plugin installed, the applet is not able to save files back to the wiki page, because it does not include the authentication cookie in its HTTP post header.

If I remove the gcj plugin, and replace it with sun-java6-plugin package, then the applet works fine. Its post headers do include the cookie.

So my naive conclusion is that somewhere in the interface between FF and the plugin there is something different (wrong) with gcj plugin.
