Your web server has to deliver .class files as application/octet-stream. Sun 
did this to kludge around the fact that many sysadmins didn't want to fix 
their web server to use an official content type for .class files, so Sun 
decreed that it had to be served with the default "I don't know what this 
is" content type.

If your web server serves it as the default "this is HTML" then you need to 
change that.

Likely for the same reason that everyone bitches at IE letting hidden worms 
in: IE will look into the content of the file it gets that's served with the 
wrong content type and fix that, for the same reason that Sun decreed you 
must serve applets with the wrong content type. It gets around misconfigured 
servers.
