Getting URL of a shoutcast server....

Hi,

I have a little shoutcast radio station, and wanted to play 
around with the data that shows up on the html page.

LC is not successfully getting the URL. It gets other URL/pages 
for me just fine, but not the shoutcast page. The shoutcast URL 
is followed by a port number. Is that what is throwing it off?

I have a field called data.

   get URL"http://livecode.com/"
     put it into fld data	

works as expected, but
    get URL"http://stream-11.streamsolutions.co.uk:9428"
    put it into fld data

returns no data. "it" is empty.

Any clues why? I'm just looking to get the text from the page, 
not the audio stream.

TIA
