Beats me too. I get the same problem with this site using Python's urllib2 &c. I tried near-identical headers to Firefox, and got the error page. Another guess: Sounds odd, I know, but I wonder if IIS/ASP.NET is insisting on a persistent connection? I haven't tested that theory, but I do notice that neither Lynx, nor Python/urllib2, nor libwww-perl (IIRC on the latter) use persistent connections, and all fail; Firefox does, and succeeds.
