JRE release : 1.6.0-b99
Nightly Bundles location :
/net/sqesvr-nfs/global/nfs/deployment5/pit_builds or
/net/dig-dug.east/bigtmp/deployment/1.6.0/nightly/

Problem Description:
Whenever an HttpURLConnection is opened on any of the file inside an applet it get cached inside the deployment cache directory. HttpURLConnection.getResponseCode() is returning response code as -1 or 404( A document with that URL doesn't exist) instead of returning HTTP_OK. Everything is working fine if the cache is disabled

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install the latest nightly build and on unix register the browser with newly installed JRE
2) Load the following applets
http://sqeweb.sfbay.sun.com/deployment2/jitu/plug-bug/cachingtest/http_file_header_cache.html

http://sqeweb.sfbay.sun.com/deployment2/jitu/plug-bug/cachingtest/http_image_header_cache.html

3) If you notice following messages displayed on the java console then the bug is reproduced
Response code: -1
STATUS: http_image_header_cache(.jpg and .gif) FAILED

or
Response code: -1
STATUS: http_file_header_cache(.class) FAILED

On reloading you can notice that response code as 404 is getting returned
Exit browser session
4) Disable the cache through Java control panel and try loading the applets again

You can notice that now both the applets are working fine

With promoted builds(1.5,1.5.0_02 and 1.6.0) applets are working fine in both the conditions(enabled and disabled cache)
