FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.3.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_02, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows NT Version 4.0

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It does not manage the http://user:###@###.### in
the jnlp files which is very very ennoying. Because the
login panel is regiven each time to the user. Once the jnlp
file has been downloaded, it should read the user name and
password from the supplied url rather than reprompting on
each launch of the program.

Also, it would be convenient if the default button of the login
box was set to OK.

We would like to generate jnlp files with access restricted
download pages. The JDK allows it but JWS does not.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Reference a jnlp file in an access restricted web folder,
2.authenticate and launch the application,
3.close the application and relaunch it. Even if you have
an url containing the user and password, jws will ask for
the user and password again. Moreover the frame does not
stay very long, which means that if you allow the offline
work, you can have your application never updated !!!!

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Manage http as the jdk allows it.

This bug can be reproduced always.
