I still have this patch in my tree...

Perhaps a more real patch would be to change argument parsing so that
we only add the '.class' after creating URLs.  Then we could do it
for only file: URLs.

The bug here turned out to be on the web server; I worked around it in
libgcj by letting our http protocol handler accept plain \n as a line
terminator in the headers (be liberal in what you accept ...)

There are still a few odd problems with this applet, but they all seem
to be AWT related.  I filed a few PRs on the topic.
