Hi,

  Richard Osbaldeston (of Web Start Services Pack
fame) has probed Sun's Java runtime auto-download
server @ http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se

 Here're are the results:

1.3.1           no
1.3.1_01        no
1.3.1_02        no
1.3.1_03        no
1.3.1_04        no
1.3.1_05        no
1.3.1_06        no

1.4.1_02        yes
1.4.1_03        no

  Now compare this report with the "official" Sun
party line published @

  If I may quote:

   The packages currently available for auto-download
are:

    * Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.4.0 for Windows 95
/ 98 / 2000 / ME / XP / NT
    * Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.4.0 for Solaris
Operating Environment on SPARC processors
    * Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.4.0 for Linux/i486

    * Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.3.0_02 for Solaris
Operating Environment on SPARC processors

   Let's thank Richard for publishing his Java runtime
auto-download ping report.
