[Openstreetmap-dev] map bundles in the RESTful API

hello,

i am sending queries for map bundles contained by bounding boxes and i
am getting back documents with 200 status and no content, even in
bounds where i know there should be stuff such as near the default
start page of openstreetmap. For example as per the API docs 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/wiki/index.php/REST#Map
i would hope to get back a bundle of nodes and line segments expressed
right now as extensions of the GPX format. 

http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.1/map?bbox=-0.14746371,51.526447,-0.14740371,51.5269447
is a sample query which fails. (with basic auth to an OSM registered
account).

i wonder if i am doing something thoughtlessly wrong, or if this is
not as implemented as it might ideally be. from a brief grep of the
code i saw nothing that might correspond to it. oh, i have a *very*
old copy of osm.rb , but when i try to svn update i get 

jo at frot:~/openstreetmap/ruby/osm$ svn update
svn: Can't connect to host '128.40.59.140': Connection refused
