This code works for me with HTTPGet:

                HttpGet httpRequest = new HttpGet(URI.create(linkUrl) );
                HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                HttpResponse response = (HttpResponse) httpclient.execute(httpRequest);
                HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
                BufferedHttpEntity bufHttpEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
                bmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bufHttpEntity.getContent());
                httpRequest.abort();
