6u10 b23Fixed
Description
Disabled cache is broken for any JNLP resource.
Comments
SUGGESTED FIX The widely used DownloadEngine.getResourceCacheEntry(), did not handle the case: !cacheEnabled && doDownload, which it should. It is not recommended to encapsulate all 'fetch resource' calls in the caller with 'isCacheEnabled', since it leads to duplicate and confusing code. In case of !cacheEnabled && doDownload, DownloadEngine.getResourceCacheEntry() has to use a temporary cache entry where the resource is downloaded into and the caller can return the temporary file handle (File instance).
