ClassCastException when trying to use getPage in HTMLUnit

Here is the simple code snippet I am using:

final WebClient client = new WebClient();
final HtmlPage page = client.getPage("http://www.muthead.com/packs/simulator/12-tokearmy-pack");

This is giving me the following:

The weird thing is that if I switch out the link for http://google.com, everything works fine. Does this mean there is a problem with the web page I am trying to link to? (Even though it is a valid link)

Solution
