Can someone explain what's happening with the HTTP status?

I get a 404 error while checking the link using requests library for the page below while the page opens fine in the browser when I reach to it from it's parent page. Can someone please help me understand what's happening?. I get the same error using this service as well.

url = "http://www.dell.com/en-us/learn/assets/shared-content~data-sheets~en/documents~2016-v5-systems-oem-10022706.pdf"
response = requests.get(url)
print response.status_code

The first URL sets a cookie, that is sent to the server as you request the second link. If you call the second link with exactly the same request, excluding the cookie, you get a 404.
