asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Pushing new firmware to Snom 190 <--solved

Found out I was doing it right, but the outbound firewalls that the Snom's
sits behind has a captive portal that intercepted the HTTP request. Adding
the Snom's MAC address to the firewall's captive portal worked
correctly. A
shortcut for any future Snom users that want to update firmware remotely:

1. In the web portal, click Advanced
2. Scroll down until you get to "Update Policy" & change to
"Update
Automatically"
3. Click Save then click on Software Update
4. In the Firmware: field paste in an URL to the firmware you want. I used
http://www.snom.com/download/snom190-3.56m-SIP-j.bin and click Load. 
5. The update procedure should take about 3 minutes. After the update,
verify the new firmware by clicking on Status > System Information

Thanks, Nils, for your efforts.
