Description
I've discovered a problem with Mustang and SunTea:

Under a recent build of Mustang (I'm using b69 - and this started
failing recently), run the following:

appletviewer http://suntea.central.sun.com

Normally this should bring up a small appletviewer window and then
launch the main SunTea window. Under Mustang, however, the small applet
window comes up and the SunTea window fails to load.

If you click the "Restart Suntea" button, you get a dialog "URI can't be
null".

Note: SunTea seems to launch fine as a Webstart app under Mustang, so
the problem seems related to the applet.

Comments
EVALUATION The URL causing the problem, http://suntea.central.sun.com:-1/servlet/SunTEAServlet, is not a valid url according to RFC 2396. You cannot have a port number of -1. This is actually a bug in SunTEA. This is documented in networking release notes for 1.4.2 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/net/relnotes.html
