BE_PdfAppend doesn't work

With the plugin from BaseElements I'm trying to append two pfd files which are located in container fields and put the result in a third container field.

There goes something wrong.  I think the reason for the problem is the pdf document in field container 2.

Can someone see what the problem is ?

I made a test solution where you can see the problem

import url V4.fmp12

AFAICT, the file in container_2 is not a valid POF file (try exporting it and opening it using a PDF reader application).

Out of curiosity, I opened the file using a text editor and found it contains this: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>400 Bad Request</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Bad Request</h1>
<p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br />

I suspect there is something on that site that prevents downloading the file using Filemaker's Insert from URL script step. I am not sure what that could be.
