title: url parameters in jnlp href attribute
body: <p>I've been using url parameters to pass arguments to the main-method of the .jar application. After updating to latest jre 7u7 on windows 7, Java-web-start launcher crashes when launching the files.</p>
  
  <p>(JNLP download-servlet and jsp-page parses the url-parameters and inputs them in the argument further down)</p>
  
  <p>The interesting parts of the jsp</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;jnlp spec="6.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/" href="myfile.jnlp?username=charles"&gt;
      ...
      &lt;application-desc main-class="MyMain"&gt;
          &lt;argument&gt;&lt;%=request.getParameter("username")%&gt;&lt;/argument&gt;
      &lt;/application-desc&gt;
  &lt;/jnlp&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So this might or might not be a bug, </p>
  
  <p>Q1: have I been using the href-attribute in a correct way?</p>
  
  <p>Q2: Any smart ideas how to get around the problem?</p>
