JNLP that reproduces the problem

When using Java Web Start to launch an app from a web server using an
unknown cert, it is impossible to either accept the cert, or to complete
the jar downloads.

Both the download window and the cert verification window appear at the
same time. The downloads do not start because the certificate hasn't
been accepted yet. The certificate window will not accept any mouse of
keyboard input - apparently the download window blocks it.

If I download the web cert myself in some other way, and add it to
trusted.certs ahead of time, the jar downloads complete as expected and
the app starts.

Certificate verification prompts for jar-signer certs do not show this
problem, most likely because the download window has already closed.

I haven't been able to reproduce this with Oracle's official javaws,
either version 6 or 7.

This problem is 100% reproducible with the console viewer app served by
Dell iDRAC 6 cards. Unfortunately, I can't provide you access to such an
app - all that I use are behind my employer's firewall.

Instead, I've set up a mock-up that you can use to reproduce and test
this on a machine under my control. (Note that you shouldn't expect the
app to actually run properly once you do get it to download - it's just
a dummy.)

To reproduce this:

1. Download my JNLP file from http://asenath.cc.cmu.edu/viewer.jnlp or just use 
the one attached to this bug report.
2. Run javaws on that file (without importing the webserver's cert into NetX).
3. You should now see both a download window, and a certificate verification 
window, both of which are unresponsive.

arrives for this problem.

It should be easily reproduced by requiring NetX to download jars from a
webserver with an unknown self-signed cert.
