Using IdHTTP1.Get with Delphi and Indy 9/10 on a specific web server returns exception

I've a problem receiving a favicon.ico from a specific web server using Delphi and Indy 9/10. Other servers do work fine. The problem is not with this web server, as wget command line utility gets the file correctly.

here is the output from wget:

c:\a>wget http://perforce.eigenbase.org:8080/favicon.ico

Here is my Delphi Indy 9/10 example code. It generates a "Connection Closed Gracefully" Exception, and the result is an empty string.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var s: string;
begin
  s := '';
  try
  	s := IdHTTP1.Get('http://perforce.eigenbase.org:8080/favicon.ico');
  except
     on E: Exception do
     begin
          {$IFDEF DEBUG}ShowMessage('get error:'+E.Message){$ENDIF};
     end;
  end;
  ShowMessage(IntToStr(Length(s)));
end;

If I try the same code with a different server, for example:

s := IdHTTP1.Get('http://www.google.com/favicon.ico');

everything works just fine.

Is there a workaround to get the http://perforce.eigenbase.org:8080/favicon.ico file using IdHTTP1.Get from the server?
