[OSM-newbies] osm history requests

[Mohamed]

Hello Folks,

Might a dumb one, but I'm trying to download osm object histories for nodes, ways, etc... I checked the wiki and come across this link http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Protocol_Version_0.5#Retrieving_Object_History

Now that is interesting, except I do not know how to formulate a proper request! I tried this http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/node/156804/history but to no avail. I get empty responses, just nothing. Can someone tell me how to use this to get edit history? Also, how to get Edit history for a bounding box rather than just a node?

Many thanks for your help,
M
