I have found the problem and it was crazy. I was trying to get-url on a 
page within minivend on the same machine I was running the get-url usertag. 
Whenever I tried another machine the page came in perfectly. However, when 
I tried again on the same machine running the script and asking for a page 
within minivend, it would hang up again.

I do not know why it was hanging whenever I requested a page from within 
the minivend on the same machine. I could get a page from minivend or 
interchange from another computer but not from the one running the script. 
It may be come crazy configuration problem.
