appx.html

Changed:
<
<		The appx.html file is the web document that a web browser can view. This document contains a link to a Java Web Start file (appx.jnlp). When this link is clicked, the JRE environment is installed if it doesn't exist on the client desktop, and then the APPX Desktop Client application will load. Subsequent clicks will only download updates. Modify

Configure your web server

Your webserver needs to support the .jnlp mime type. There are too many web servers and web server version that each configure via different actions, syntax or configuration file location that it is beyond the scope of this document to cover mime type configuration fully. However, this might be enough to get you on the right track is your server is not already configured for jnlp mime type support.

Apache web server

Added:
>
>		You need to add a mime type entry for jnlp. You can either use the Apache AddType directive inside the Apache httpd.conf file or the .htaccess file, or modify the Apache web server global mime.types file. The location of this mime.types file is specified by the TypesConfig Apache directive. Apache [[http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype][recommends] that you use the AddType directive.

grep -qs 'application/x-java-jnlp-file' /etc/mime.types || echo 'application/x-java-jnlp-file jnlp' >> /etc/mime.types or grep -qs 'application/x-java-jnlp-file' .htaccess || echo 'AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file jnlp' >> .htaccess
