BitmapFactory decode issue

BitmapFactory decode issue

url="http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/946xvariable_height/public/ladee_spin_2_in_motion_0_0.jpg?itok=yNhf69rE";
try {
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)new
URL(url).openConnection();
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.connect();
InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
input.close();
return bitmap;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
I was tryning to retreive image from the url but no matter what it always
returns null. In debugging mode I have observed that it happens when it
tries input.close(); . How can I possibly get the Image.
