SSL Error when trying to download a Java JDK [closed]

I need to download a particular version of the Java JDK, so I'm going to Oracle's website to do so. When I click any of the links to begin downloading a JDK, I get the following error message from my browser:

This is probably not the site you are looking for!

You attempted to reach download.oracle.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as a248.e.akamai.net. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of download.oracle.com.

You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.

Is this normal (i.e., does Oracle use akamai.net to host its JDK distributions), or does this suggest that Oracle or I are being attacked?

Neither Sun nor Oracle has ever used third parties to host JDK downloads in my experience since 1997.
