           Summary: Java Applet using EMBED or OBJECT tag produces
                    unnecessary request
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rjcarello at gmail.com


When using EMBED to load a Java Applet, Safari makes an unnecessary request for the value of the CODE parameter. Example:

<embed height="0" width="0" type="application/x-java-applet" codebase="java/" archive="ReceiptPrinter.jar" code="ReceiptPrinter">

Makes the following request:

Request URL:http://SITE_URL/ReceiptPrinter

This request, of course, results in a "Failed to Load Resource" error in the console. The Java Applet works fine though.

Works in Firefox. Works in IE8. Works, but similar error in Chrome.


Similar results using the OBJECT tag with the difference being that IE8 crashes:

<object type="application/x-java-applet" width="0" height="0" name="ReceiptPrinter" id="ReceiptPrinter">
    <param name="codebase" value="java/">
    <param name="archive" value="ReceiptPrinter.jar">
    <param name="code" value="ReceiptPrinter">
</object>

I am attempting to use EMBED or OBJECT because APPLET is deprecated.
