JDK-6721619 - Java Web Start 1.6.0 shows intermittent https communication breakdown
Description
Application started on Java Web Start 1.6 experiences unexpected "socket closed"
exception when started on slow https connection. The behavior is highly 
reproducible. Trying to simply relaunch the application will finally start 
the application. No other action is required.
Java Web Start 1.5.0 on JRE 1.6.0 does not experience such behavior.
