Now we're getting somewhere!  I was afraid that the answer would be that this 
was a client configuration issue.  I knew there was another way around it, 
because the Netscape I can use to download a DEB file from debian.org is the 
same Netscape that malfunctions when I try to do it from either a local file, 
or from my own website.  Thanks, I'll pursue this angle.
