As I know, unsigned applets cannot access random resources on the web, but just from the original server, so there's no way an external file would work. This is a security feature of the applets, and there's nothing we can do about it.
We could have a kind of proxy on the server that fetches external mindmap files and returns them to the applet, so, for example, instead of using an external URL, we would use /xwiki/bin/view/MindMap/FetchExternal?url=http://www.example.com/my.mm
But still, from the screenshot I see that Uwe's file was local, and not remote. Could it be just a broken mindmap file?
I get this message only from remote maps. Perhaps Uwe could share his file to test it here. Or he could try with any of the maps available at http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Mind_Map_Gallery From an user point of view here, I think it will be easier to upload the file as an attachment instead of loading it from a remote site. Remote files will be great while freely available, as if stored in /~public_html folders, but if stored in restricted access directories we will be forced to face again the "pass username and password in the URL" issue.
