Thanks for this. I had a look with Wireshark and am not much the
wiser.

In any event, I don't think this is a firewalling or proxy issue, for
a couple of reasons. First, I've tried disabling both the proxy
(squid) and the firewall, to no avail. Second, I can access Citrix
from a Windows VM running within Debian and using the same interface,
passing through the same firewall settings.

If you have any other thoughts then please let me know, though it
sounds from what you're saying like it's not a Java problem. In the
meantime I'll make another attempt to persuade my employer's IT
department to show an interest in the problem (I might "forget" to
tell them I'm using an "unsupported" OS, for example...)

Thanks,

John
