Testsuite name: Regression
JDK/JRE tested: JDK8b113(64bit)
OS/architecture: solaris11-x64
Reproducible: Always
Reproducible on machine: solaris11-x64
Test run log location:
http://jsqalab.us.oracle.com/results/Evergreen/8/b113/regression/solaris11-x64/results-awt-part2/workDir/closed/java/awt/Desktop/BrowseTest/BrowseTest.jtr

Steps to reproduce:
1.Download regression workspace from http://jre.sfbay.sun.com/java/re/jdk/8/promoted/ea/b113/ws/jdk/test to /regression
2. Install test bundle JDK8b113 (download from
http://jre.us.oracle.com/java/re/jdk/8/promoted/ea/b113/bundles/solaris-x64/jdk-8-ea-bin-b113-solaris-amd64-24_oct_2013.tar.gz ) to /regression/jdk8.0
3.Install stable JDK6u34 to /regression/jdk1.6.0_34
4.download and unzip Jtreg from http://jre.us.oracle.com/java/re/jtreg/4.1/promoted/fcs/b02/bundles/jtreg_bin-4.1.zip locate at /regression/
5.Set the default browser and test JDK plug-in connection
6.Create the script regression.sh as follows and run it
export JT_JAVA= /regression/jdk1.6.0_34
/regression/jtreg/solaris/bin/jtreg -v -m -ignore:quiet -jdk:/regression/jdk1.8.0 -r:/regression/results/reportDir -w:/regression/results/workDir /regression/test/closed/java/awt/Desktop/BrowseTest/BrowseTest.sh

Instruction:
This test could launch default file manager to open user's home directory, and default web browser to show the URL of java vendor. After test execution close the native file manager and web browser windows if they were lunched by test. Also check output for any unexpected EXCEPTIONS, if you see any failure messages the test is FAILED.

Actual behavior:
Try to browse http://java.oracle.com/ ...EXCEPTION: Failed to show URL:http://java.oracle.com/

please re-evaluate it

I have set correct proxy settings with System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy If I open browser manually, http://java.oracle.com/ opens successfully. More than that, The test fails only since JDK 8 b84, it passes aginst JDk 8 b83 and before. It is a regression.

Evergreen team says: Important info is: from our test env, we don't set proxy enviable or system proxy at all to run this test case. Without proxy, we can access the mentioned URL directly from the default browser. Not sure why this bug is closed as not an issue. We think it is nothing related to proxy. I will try to run it with the correct proxy settings.

As I commented above this is a proxy issue, setting http_proxy env variable does not affect gtk_show_uri() API and you have to set up proxy in system. You can specify proxy in Network Proxy window (System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy).

This is a GTK proxy handling issue: gtk_show_uri() trying to receive content of URI internally. Somehow on Solaris 11 it does not support proxy and fails to get content with timeout error, URI available without proxy can be opened successfully (http_proxy and https_proxy env vars are set correctly). I can observe this behavior with a simple C program on Solaris 11 as well. It works fine on OEL6.
