Prefetch New Java downloads directly?

Usage and Config Patch

Looks like Oracle has changed their Java download site at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp such that it no longer requires checking a box on the form to do JRE downloads.

Any plans for BigFix to change their Java installers to take advantage of this and remove the manual precache requirements?

That is interesting, but I don’t think it will work with the prefetch command.

This is the URL the file downloaded from for me when I clicked on it:

This is still not a direct link to a file. Oracle is being difficult.

Was it this hard back when it was Sun?

Nope. It’s Oracle being difficult.
