For what it's worth, I (unintentionally) worked around the problem with
code like this:
URL getImage = new URL(sliceURL);
URLConnection c1 = getImage.openConnection();
c1.setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookie);
InputStream is = c1.getInputStream();
ImagePlus imp = new Opener().openTiff(is, title);
In other words, I get an input stream on a URL, then call
Opener.openTiff() on that. I did it this way because I needed to add a
cookie header to the request, but this also got me around the
file-extension problem. (My URLs are of the form
http://hostname/app/civmastiff3d?count=1&slice=99 .)
