Description
- Download and install 7u2 JRE.
- Clear cache.
- Run javaws http://www.tumas-project.org/distribution/TUMAS-fx.jnlp once, should see launch error.  This step is just to download the JNLP file and put into cache under gzip format.
- Install unfixed 8 or 7u4-ea b06 and do not clear cache.
- Run javaws http://www.tumas-project.org/distribution/TUMAS-fx.jnlp will see errors unable to launch the app due to gzipped JNLP file in cache was used.

Expecting javaws to detect gzipped format, refresh the cache and launch successfully.
