java/icedtea-web: problems fetching and extracting

Fetch is unable to get the distfile for icedtea-web.
The request to the URL is redirected (302) to
http://icedtea.wildebeest.org/download/source/icedtea-web-1.3.tar.gz
but, as -A is used as option in bsd.ports.mk, the file is not
retrieved.
I downloaded the file manually, but either the MASTER_SITES should be
fixed or FETCH_ARGS=-Fpr should be added in Makefile.

It seems also that "our" tar can't extract the tarball:
tar: Pathname in pax header can't be converted to current locale.
tar: Pathname in pax header can't be converted to current locale.
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
*** [do-extract] Error code 1

No problems trying with gtar.

Regards
Barbara
