FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_02-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_02-b06, mixed mode)
FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Server is IIS or Apache2
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using "cache_version" to control cached jar invalidation, a connection to the server is made even though the cache_version indicates that the cached version is valid.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. set javaplugin.trace=true in Java Plug-in Control Panel
2. use the following script to download any applet
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Java 2D(TM) Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<OBJECT myscript classid = "clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
width="100%" height="100%" align="baseline" name=Java2Demo
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4_1-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0">
<PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="java2d.Java2DemoApplet.class">
<param name="cache_archive" value="Java2Demo.jar">
<param name="cache_version" value="1.4.0.1">
<param name="type" value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4">
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>
3. Quit the browser and load the same applet again, see the trace
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
connection to the server should not be made on the second applet load
connection to the server is made on every start of the applet
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
It seems that setting expiration date of content on the server, eliminates the problem
