Brian, Thanks but, no, that didn't work. The strange thing is that the GetURL example notebook for J/Link works. I believe this is an older implementation, before the functionality was included in Import. So, I'm still looking for an answer, if anyone has an idea. I have also asked Wolfram support who have made some suggestions but not solved the problem yet.
