How can I stop Microsoft IE renaming .jar files to .zip files?

Question

I realise this question has been asked before on this forum, but as far as I can tell no answer has yet been posted.
If I put a .jar file on my webserver for people to download, later versions of Internet Explorer will rename the file from xxx.jar to xxx.zip on the client's machine. Is there any way of stopping this from happening?
It looks like the problem is caused by IE examining the contents of the file and realising it uses ZIP compression. As a result, any file that I create (not just jars) that uses Java to zip the contents, when placed on a web server, gets interpreted as a .zip file by IE regardless of its extension.
I realise there are some workarounds such as zipping the .jar file, creating a .exe file from the .jar, telling everyone to use Firefox etc., but none of these are really acceptable or particularly efficient. I am really hoping there is something I can do to the .jar file or the compression process that will tell IE to leave the file alone.
Thanks,
Jo.

You can save any kind of document on iCloud Drive, as long as the file size is smaller than 15GB.
See:   iCloud Drive FAQ
Create a new folder for your Office documents on iCloud Drive and drag your documents there, or select iCloud Drive in the File Chooser panel, when you save a document.
