Scraping html with rvest - getting http error 416

I am trying to scrape the HTML of this page using R (package rvest), but am getting "client error 416: Requested Range Not Satisfiable"

After a long search, I can't seem to find a solution. It throws the error when trying to use rvest's html function, which parses an HTML page:

url <- "http://ift.tt/1GDQSmE"
html(url)

I am using R version 3.2.0.

Any help would be appreciated!
