Details:

According to 'doc imread', imread(URL) should work.
However it appears to only checks for a local file of that name, and if it
doesn't exist, error.

Example run:

>> x = imread("http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/images/logo.png";)
error: imread: cannot find http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/images/logo.png
error: called from:
error:  
C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.0\share\octave\3.8.0\m\image\private\__imread__.m at line
56, column 5
error:   C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.0\share\octave\3.8.0\m\image\private\imageIO.m
at line 66, column 26
error:   C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.0\share\octave\3.8.0\m\image\imread.m at line
107, column 30


imfinfo  works on urls.
