That's because of the different way in which browsers and the Java virtual
machine see URIs (it's still some kind of a bug in the OS, IMVHO!). The
browser ususally accesses the file thru the "Carbon API" (if by browser we
think about Mozilla/IE/OmniWeb), while the virtual machine goes directly to
the underlying BSD layer... That's why of the difference (sucks, I know).
