Never mind last question; finally figured this bugger out.
We used URLConnection::getContent to get a BufferedInputStream.
Successive calls to 'read' returned integer values, which we
discovered were the decimal values of the bytes in our binary file.
Converted these back to binary with matlab's binary file function and
all is well.
