i am that "nobody" that started this post.

as you can understand, the problem was serius but i've already fixed it and
wanna to share you with solution.

So here is:
all was configured right (no problems with cab files at code or something),
all just fine. all this files with same config worked at free hostings (applet
loaded but can't connect to irc server, dahh, not signed applet :) All files
uploaded at BIN mode to remote host (no probem with uploading, files are good,
config are good). When i downloaded files by FTP all files was ok, BUT i've
found that when i download by HTTP files are corrupted ... So guess what? IE
downloaded them and couldn't extract a package so he couldn't find class EIRC
and showed an error. Ok, i guess you know now the problem - httpd sending files
wrong. how to fix it ?

when i compared two files, one that i got from FTP (working archive) and one
from HTTP (not working) i've found that difference at 0x20 and 0x00. I undertood
that httpd send files wrong ... After trying many things i've found that httpd
just doesn't know what is .jar file and so it sends it as default as text/plain
and this was wrong ... After "teaching" httpd that this is archive it worked !

So how to fix if you have same problem (wrong config of httpd on hoster)?

just create .htaccess file and put there AddHandler application/octet-stream
.tar or better put this lines to httpd.conf if you have access into there ...
Then it will be global fix :)

btw, how i know that it must be application/octet-stream? Very simple, i've
checked this on another site that their installed EIRC and working property :)

Have any questions? Feel free to ask me at:
