Thanks to Rolf and Bob for their reply.
Just for those who have had the same problem.
A fast way to solve the problem is to use the signed applet,
even though the signed applet it's not designed for that, right?
I don't know if it's a bug in java 1.6 or (most probably) I'm missing
something.
The problem shows up when Apache activates the expires_module (ExpiresActive
On)
which comes in the configuration file by default.
In this case, I have seen an inconsistency between what my Apache web server
has
configured (by default no cache: ExpiresDefault A0) and what java 1.6 does.
The headers that java gets are OK, but then it seems that it doesn't read
the headers
correctly...
Anyway, one way to solve this is to remove the line "ExpiresDefault".
After that, even if I explicitly set a long expiration time
e.g.
ExpiresByType chemical/x-pdb "access plus 12 months"
everything works, the pdb is downloaded from the server and java does
what it's supposed to.
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong spot, but that's the best I came up with.
