The Java 1.7 Plugin insists on attempting to download the pack.gz for the archive file specified. E.g. for an applet tag like this:
<applet codebase="." code="com.whatever.Something" archive="applet/SomethingWhatever.jar" mayscript="true">
<param name="someKindOfSettingA" value="1234">
</applet>
We end up with the HTTP server getting requests for:
applet/SomethingWhatever.jar.pack.gz
I realize we can solve this by providing a pack.gz and this would be beneficial. But for now I just want to suppress the extra requests. Is there a way to do this via an applet tag or something?
We tried this:
<PARAM NAME="java_arguments" VALUE="-Djnlp.packEnabled=false"/>
based on the obvious variation of the instructions here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/tools/pack200.html . But that made no difference.
