You need to configure your HTTP server to support VRML files.  This is
usually just a one-line change to a configuration file.

On our server, for example, I just added the following line to
the mime-types file:

x-world/x-vrml   wrl vrml

Obviously, the configuration details it will depend on which HTTP server
you're running.

The "./" is of course optional.
