Did you go to that page with a regular browser ... my Firefox gives me on that URL "Page not found" error? Besides, direct downloading of HTML from the web is kind of hack in html2text it certainly doesn't contain the same functionality as a full browser. It is usually better to download HTML pages to the disk and process them from there.
@moscartong html2text feature for reading from URL is just a tiny helper and should not be considered a reliable method for such situations.
