trying to understand why the Blackberry can't see a website

I have access to a Blackberry and have been trying its browser on a number of 
websites.     

The "Try Me" link at   http://www.io-anywhere.ca is one site where the 
Blackberry refuses to find the site and reports a "503" error,  yet every 
other browser I've tried finds it just fine.

At first I thought that the Blackberry was having trouble with html forms,  
but I tried one of my forms at  
http://www.icanprogram.com/31ux/linuxsurvey.html at it found it no problem.

I then tried wget on both URL's to see if I could detect a difference.   The 
only noticable difference is that when accessing the IOA site the wget 
reports an "unspecified" number of bytes whereas the iCanProgram site comes 
back with a number of bytes.

Anyone else have an idea what is happening here?
