Seems that the jre cannot fetch the class file from the server when https is used.
Assuming that https://10.1.3.116:9443/Test/Scribble.class fetches a class file
when you open it with a browser than there is something wrong with the jre.
If you cannot get it with a browser than you might have a look at the http server.
In case it's the jre than a Full trace might help us out:
