GETURI Questions -- MIDRANGE-L

I am trying to test out Brad Stone's GETURI software.  I'd like to be
able to send and receive data (EDI files) with an HTTP server.  As a
test I am trying to receive a file that is named readme.txt
(www.ediconsulting.com/readme.txt), but I receive a 406 error:

serverIndex as
  the end marker.   //urlresult=DocURL.substring(protocolIndex -
4,serverIndex);
   BeginURL=DocURL.indexOf("#",1) + 1;
urlresult=DocURL.substring(BeginURL,serv


Here is the command I am using.  I am sure there is an error between the
keyboard and the chain, but I can not figure it out.

GETURI URI('www.ediconsulting.com/readme.txt')

I think it has something to do with context type, but I have tried may
different things, including */*.  Anyone have any ideas?
