I'm having some trouble creating a urlacl reservation in Windows Server 2008; probably this a rookie mistake.

The command line I'm using is:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:99898/ user=ben

The error that I see is:

Url reservation add failed, Error: 87
The parameter is incorrect.

There is a local user account named 'ben' that has admin privileges. I've made sure to put a trailing slash after the port number in the URL. Google and MSDN documentation are letting me down now - does anyone have any clue what I'm doing incorrectly?
