Steps to verify the fix: 1. Start policytool 2. Click "Add Policy Entry" 3. In the new "Policy Entry" dialog, click "Add Permission" 4. In the new "Permissions" dialog, click the drop list "Permissions", choose "URLPermission" (Yes, the permission was renamed since this bug was filed). 5. Click the "Target Name" drop list, confirms there is a "<url>" inside. Choose it, manually edit the "<url>" text into "http://localhost". 6. Click the "Actions" drop list, confirms there is a "<method list>:<request headers list>" inside. Choose it, manually edit the "<method list>:<request headers list>" text into "GET:MyHeader". 7. Press OK. Press Done 8. Save to a file. Confirms the permission line in the saved file looks like permission java.net.URLPermission "http://localhost", "GET:MyHeader";
