You meant
http://www.mit.edu:8001/finger?args
http://www.mit.edu:8001/machine?hostname
Also, the gateways don't deal well with numeric IP addresses:
Finger @18.70.0.212
Couldn't resolve host 18.70.0.212
The default for the gateways (if no query arguments are specified)
should have a pointer to the machine the request is coming from (you
can get that hostname from $main'peerhost).
