WebServices InstallService bug in 5.2 on Max OS X 10.4.7

I believe I may have found a bug in the InstallService function in 
the WebServices package for Mathematica 5.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.7 
(PowerPC G5). To demonstrate I used the example for the Amazon web 
services in Mathematica Help (see "Add-ons  Links", "Web Services 
Package", "Examples", "Amazon").

The URL for the WSDL is here:
http://confluence.atypon.com/rpc/soap-axis/confluenceservice-v1?wsdl

The error I get is:
XML`Parser`XMLGet::prserr: MalformedURLException: The URL used an 
unsupported protocol

I've cut-and-pasted my exact steps below.


In[1]:=
Needs["WebServices`"]

In[2]:=
InstallService["http://soap.amazon.com/schemas3/AmazonWebServices.wsdl";]

 =46rom In[2]:=
\!\(\*
   RowBox[{\(XML`Parser`XMLGet::
       "prserr"\), \(\(:\)\(\ \)\), "\<\"MalformedURLException: The
     URL used an unsupported
       protocol \\!\\(\\*ButtonBox[\\\"More=85\\\", \
ButtonStyle->\\\"RefGuideLinkText\\\", ButtonFrame->None, \
ButtonData:>\\\"XML`Parser`XMLGet::prserr\\\"]\\)\"\>"}]\)

Out[2]=
$Failed


Do other Mac users see this behavior too? Can anyone help me find a 
workaround?

Warmest regards, Matt
