Is it possible to launch an application with javaws via an ftp URL?
I tried something like

   javaws ftp://user:passwd@host/blah/blah.jnlp

The jnlp element in blah.jnlp has the attributes:

   codebase="ftp://user:passwd@host/blah"
   href="blah.jnlp"

and the resources element contains
 
  <jar href="blah.jar" main="true" download="eager"/>
   
But all I get is an error message caused by a "not logged in"
exception. The funny thing is, javaws can read the file blah.jnlp, but
then is unable to get the jar file residing in the same directory.
   
Is this supposed to work at all? Or am I missing something?

Bernd
