What I am doing is downloading a jad/jar from a repository site of our 
publisher. So unfortunately I cannot give you the access information.

Basically what happens is that you login to the site, select a couple of 
options in dialogues that influence the created .jad file. Then you get 
a download button that lets you download the jar to your phone normally. 
Both Opera and WinWap would then download the .jad file to the PC when 
you click the download button, but the Wmlbrowser plugin basically 
doesn't do anything. Ideally you would get a dialogue that lets you save 
both .jad and .jar to a destination on your PC. Problem is that WinWap 
is commercial and Opera has glitches and does not display all options in 
the configuration dialogues.

[my response:]

Is it possible to do a "view source" on the page to show what's 
happening here?

Anything that happens server-side should "just work".
