Follow-up Comment #2:

Actually, this is a bug.  The semicolon at the end of an Octave statement is
used to suppress display of any output.  If there is no semicolon, then there
should be output.  I verified with Matlab and their urlread function does
display output even when nargout == 0.

I checked in a changeset on the development branch here:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d211561cd2bc.

This could be ported over to stable as well, but not right before the 8.1
release.  It would need to go in at the next bug fix release.
