Unable to anonymously access spreadsheet

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to access
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al6xypNIQWOddC1BV0RHN2o4dDRtXzJBcE9TXzg3
Ymc&hl=en
in a web browser. it should work
2. now try to access it via the java gdata API

I should be able to access the data in a spread sheet that is read only and
shared publicly via gdata

I am using the 1.41.1 version of the java gdata client library, the
following code does not work, unless i provide credentials. 

import com.google.gdata.client.spreadsheet.SpreadsheetService;
import com.google.gdata.data.spreadsheet.SpreadsheetEntry;
import java.net.URL;

public class Spreadsheet {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

      try {

        // Create a new Spreadsheet service
        SpreadsheetService myService = new SpreadsheetService("STOP Data
Import");
        //myService.setUserCredentials({user}, {pass});
        // trying to read the spread sheet at
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al6xypNIQWOddC1BV0RHN2o4dDRtXzJBcE9TXzg3
Ymc&hl=en
        //URL entryUrl = new
URL("http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/0Al6xypNIQWOddC1BV0RHN2o4
dDRtXzJBcE9TXzg3Ymc");
        // maybe with the publish as html key?
        URL entryUrl = new
URL("http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/t-AWDG7j8t4m_2ApOS_87bg")
;
        SpreadsheetEntry spreadsheet = myService.getEntry(entryUrl,
SpreadsheetEntry.class);
        System.out.println("Title : " + spreadsheet.getTitle().getPlainText());
      }
      catch(Throwable t) {
        t.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
  }
