Can't run Java updater for Windows with Web Filter turned on

This problem has been happening for the last few months - Windows clients cannot update Java. Not sure if it's a change in the way Java is serving its updates or a firmware update on my UTM320. What I do know is turning the Web Filter off allows clients to connect to Java's online installer and get the update.

I've created an Exception in the Web Filter for the Java domain, skipping Antivirus and Extension checking. This has had no affect. Downloading the offline installers from Java's download page works fine. It's just the online installer that fails.

FYI I'm on firmware 8.309 (upgrading to 8.310 tonight).

If anyone has any feedback it would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I had a problem with java updates for an XP machine and the issue was the file extension (msi). I'll have to check but are you sure the updates are from the java domain only? I think they might be hosted on akamai or with a similar service so it might not be useful to just look for the java.com url in the logs.

I do have .msi blocked - I'll unblock and see if that does the trick.

dilandau, you the man, unblocking .msi from the web filter solved the problem. Thanks!
