skia

I am trying to open a remote Stream of a JPEG image and convert it into a Bitmap object:

    BitmapFactory.decodeStream(
new URL("http://some.url.to/source/image.jpg")
.openStream());

The decoder returns null and in the logs I get the following message:

DEBUG/skia(xxxx): --- decoder->decode returned false

Note:
1. the content length is non-zero and content type is image/jpeg
2. When I open the URL in browser I can see the image.

What is that I am missing here?

Please help. Thanks.
