I'm currently hosting an app on my own server so my beta testers can
test it. I've set up the apk MIME type to be application/
vnd.android.package-archive, and when I try to download the app from
the emulator, it downloads the 53KB apk file and installs it.

When I try to do the same thing from a real ADP1 device, it only loads
43KB. When I try to install it, the system says that I'm trying to
install an app that already exists (called "Android System") and that
doesn't require any permissions, but nothing happens when I proceed.
logcat tells me "D/asset   (16379): failed to open Zip archive '/
sdcard/download/[name of the app].apk'

Bonus points! When I try to download the app from the emulator, I can
see that in the accesslog of my server. Not so when I download it from
the device, even after deleting /sdcard/download/* and clearing the
cache through the settings. Almost as if the device was loading an old
copy from a proxy server. I'm not sure which APN I'm using, but none
of the T-Mobile APNs have a proxy AFAICS.

Is there a way to circumvent the proxy, assuming that this is the
case? And/or tell the proxy not to cache this apk file?
