Very strange. You could try PCA's --nocache option, which will set "cache=off"
for wget. A web proxy should then ignore locally cached files and get the file
from Oracle.

Yes, that's not normal, not even for a JAR file. Weird.

Yes. I'd really be interested to know what's going on. Incidentially, I just
wanted to remove the whole file detection for patches downloaded from Oracle, as
one should only get ZIP files from that source anyway. Your example just showed
that this is not true, although this is not normal behaviour and most probably
just a local, one-time error. So I will put my change into the next development
release anyway. Just be aware that it your case you'll then end up with a .zip
file which is actually a JAR. At the end it probably won't matter anyway.
Martin.
