Re: unexpected EOF on client side when Apache sends applet class

This problem affects multiple files and affects all files larger than
256 bytes.  This proves the problem is not the class file.  Even if
Apache httpd has a setting to limit the size of outbound transfers, I
doubt you accidentally configured it.

This issue sounds like a network problem, usually bad hardware -- a
network card, switch, or router is broken.  This can also be caused by
bad drivers, especially when binding network cards.   Since WGET
failed from the server, the problem must be in the server (eliminating
external switches and routers.)

Slax is a small live-CD Linux distribution based on Slackware.  Even
though a "server" edition exits, small size is the priority.  You
might try a more full-sized server distro with more drivers.

The next troubleshooting step is to prove the problem is or is not
with Apache httpd.  Test with another server program such as Tomcat or
Jetty.  I recommend jetty-6.1.5 because jetty-6.1.6rc0 is broken and
Tomcat is larger.  Just download from:
   http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty/
Unzip the download, copy your class file to the test directory, and:
   wget http://localhost:8080/test/helloapp.class
