A GET request should not include the protocol (http) or hostname
(stage.theshopatmycomany.com).  Also as others pointed out it is
case-sensitive and you cannot use globbing (*) in the request.  Try this:

GET /mycomanystore/images/altImg.png HTTP/1.1
Host: stage.theshopatmycomanystudios.com

(note hit enter twice after the Host: line)
