FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 22.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
We are using JNLP to start an applet. This works fine over HTTP but when we use HTTPS the applet loads correctly the first time it is used but fails to load on the second or subsequent times and reports a ClassNotFoundException. If the cache is cleared the applet will load correctly but will fail again on the second and subsequent openings until the cache is cleared.

This does on happen on JRE 1.6.X works fine on https and http. The issue only happens on JRE 1.7.X when using https. If they JNLP is launched outside the browser it works fine on all JRE's.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u31

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a JNLP with the correct setting for https. Serve it from a https server. The applet will start first time. Stop the applet and try to load it again and you get a General Exception error.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Should launch the applet every time
ACTUAL -
Get an application error
