It should return something, maybe there is a problem with the servlet. Try to do the GET by hand (wget, curl, etc) and see its response. If that is ok, maybe url is miss-spelled. Maybe Accept header is wrong, etc. I'm currently using this method in a couple of places (in case you're wondering if it works).
