Bug Description:
  Problem in handling an invalid web server certificate.
   
  Previous versions of the JRE and even previous releases of JRE 1.4.2 popped
  up a warning dialog box prior to load the applet over HTTPS when they
  encounter an invalid web server certificate. The warning was about the
  invalid certificate and a question whether you want to continue or not.
  The dialog box had two buttons: "Yes" and "No". If you clicked "No", the
  applet did not load. If you clicked "Yes", the applet loaded and continued
  to work properly.

  But in Mantis build14, it throws an exception seen in the Java Console and
  nothing is loaded (only a red X icon in the upper left corner).
