Haiku Finding mjpeg URL

My IP cam arrived and I'm struggling to make it work with Haiku.
I'm experimenting with addresses but I can't seem to make it pop up correctly.

I can access fine via my browser, after logging in I click on the image and it points me to an address like: http://MYCAMERALOCALIP/videostream.cgi?rate=0&user=admin&pwd=

If I copy/paste that in a browser everything's OK, but when I put it in Haiku it won't work.
I tried these variations also:

http://MYCAMERALOCALIP/videostream.cgi (inserting admin in the Haiku field with pwd field empty)
http://MYCAMERALOCALIP/videostream.cgi?rate=0 (same as above for passwords)

What else should I try to find the correct stream URL?

Edit: using the first URL (http://MYCAMERALOCALIP/videostream.cgi) I managed to make it work on the iPhone (it didn't on first try), but using the exact same input on the iPad I get no result (I even copy-mailed-pasted it from the iPhone to the iPad). What cold be wrong?
 
Look at the page source (HTML) in the browser and you should be able to get the actual MJPEG stream. Otherwise just PM me a URL to access it and I should be able to figure it out for you.
 
Just to say Thank you to lupinglade for the help in figuring out the problem (BTW I just had to setup a password - any password - instead of leaving the field empty).
