I'm having a problem where only a certain class of users (Ubuntu Jaunty) get an exception when trying to run my webstart app. They are presented with the following error:
com.sun.deploy.net.FailedDownloadException: Unable to load resource: https://host/chatterbox/xmltalk.jnlp
at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.actionDownload(DownloadEngine.java:1325)
users java environment:
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
JNLP file is as follows:

any help would be much appreciated.
