I dunno ... perhaps some weird kind of "quoting" problem in your
particular crontab ...?
Anyway, I made the above command into a one-line (well, two ... can't
forget the #!/bin/sh line) shell-script, and the requested page ended
up in my mailbox OK, when I executed the script.
You might try that (have your crontab invoke a shell-script containing
the cmd), instead of having that line/cmd in your crontab, per se.
Don't forget to chmod the script to 0755, or some such ...
