           Summary: Java Applet embedded with object tag sends unnecessary
                    GET request for Java class
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://www.ailis.de/~k/permdata/20121221/applettest/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.8
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Java
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: k at ailis.de


When embedding a Java applet with the object tag then Webkit sends an unnecessary GET request for the class specified in the code parameter. The class is inside the JAR file referenced in the archive parameter and works fine from there. So there is no need to try to download the class file.

This happens in Safari (tested with current Webkit nightly r138355) and with latest Chrome (23.0.1271.97) on Windows and Linux. In Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer no GET request is sent for the class file.

To reproduce this bug simply visit http://www.ailis.de/~k/permdata/20121221/applettest/ and wait for the applet to start (Should display a 3D cube). Now look into the error console. You will find a 404 error there because Webkit tries to download a file called "CubeApp" (Which is the class name of the applet)
