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.
