If the server is sending back a content type header of "text/html" then 
you will get an HtmlPage.  If there is no content header then you might 
get the behaviour you are seeing.

Once the page has been created you cannot change it from one kind to 
another.  You can however provide your own PageCreator to customize the 
kind of page that is created for each content type.
