If you end up able to reach the URL from a browser and somehow not from
the script (worked for me) and this isn't a process that needs to be
repeated, you could also just save the generated HTML page from within
your browser and then parse the local copy from your script (use a
file:// URI).
If it's a process that is repeated then you may want to try narrowing
the problem down to a more specific step.
