Basic Java Web Start question

Show all headers | View raw

I am interested in experimenting with Java Web Start a bit but I'm hitting 
a rather formidable obstacle that is keeping me from getting started. 

As I understand it, I need to set up some space on a server and set up a 
JNLP MIME type. 

I don't have such a server and the two hosting services I use for web stuff 
won't add the MIME type for me. (I realize that I could set up a server on 
my PC but if my experiments are successful, I'd like the code delivered by 
Java Web Start to be accessible 24x7. I don't want to leave my own computer 
up that much of every day.) 

Therefore, is there any free place you know of where I could set the JNLP 
MIME type (or have the administrator do it for me) and set up the Java Web 
Start infrastructure? 

I don't plan to go into Java Web Start in a big way with lots of 
applications and/or users but I would be interested in delivering a handful 
of programs to a handful of people this way. 

I can't afford to spend money on this so if there are no free places, 
that's fine, I'll just abandon the idea of Java Web Start until somewhere 
further down the road.
