[BioC] KEGGSOAP package: I can't retrieve KEGG pathway diagrams

Dear all,

I need  to retrieve a KEGG pathway diagram using the KEGGSOAP package.
Until now it always works (time ago, thanks to the list, I solved a 
proxy problem to tell the full story).

To check my environment I c & p an example from the 
color.pathway.by.objects function help page:

             library(KEGGSOAP)
             url <- color.pathway.by.objects("path:eco00260",
                            c("eco:b0002", "eco:c00263"),
                            c("#ff0000", "#00ff00"), c("#ffff00", "yellow"))

              url
              [1] 
"http://soap.genome.jp/tmp/mark_pathway_www3_api21891/eco00260.gif"

library(EBImage)
im.gif <- readImage (url)
R: no data returned 
`http://soap.genome.jp/tmp/mark_pathway_www3_api588/eco00260.gif' @ 
url.c/ReadURLImage/224.
Warning message:
In readImage(url) : requested image not found or could not be loaded

Using several browsers I checked the url but I can't get the diagram, at 
most (firefox 3.5) the rendering of the string:
