OK, duh.  I guess it helps to read the documentation.  Right
at the start of urlread, it plainly says "If the server
returns binary data, the string will contain garbage."  And
my camera is indeed returning my image, image.jpg, as binary
data.

So I guess my question now simply boils down to: how do I
read binary data from a server?
