nlapiRequestURL().getBody() response error??

The following is just a snippet of code that I am using to upload an image file, from another website, into the NetSuite file cabinet. For some reason, the "body" variable below returns a funky response, which is pasted below.

Is there any reason why the urlresponse.getBody() is not working correctly?


-----------------Start Code---------------------------

var url = 'http//pathtoimage.com/images/image.jpg';
var urlresponse = nlapiRequestURL(url, null, null);
var body = urlresponse.getBody();

nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'urlresponse.getBody()', body); // capture value

var newsPhoto = nlapiCreateFile('new_image.jpg,'JPGIMAGE',body);

-------------------End Code-----------------------------

----------Below is what I capture----------
