That comment didn't seem to be formatted very well...
The problem may be that there is a ';' instead of a ':' in the url.

http;//api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/
http; <- there shouldn't be a ';'
If that was a typo it may be that the api.openstreetmap.org server was just down for a moment.

Haha, I lived in Weerde but I moved past month. To bad.
