I agree, I don't think it does handle this, but this is a bug in my opinion. 
It should distinguish these URL types.  The intention of the "function"
attribute in EML was to handle exactly what Wade is trying to do, so Kepler
should look for it and only really try to parse and download data from
'download' URLs.  If a "function" attribute has not been provided on the URL,
then maybe it should try to download it as well, but that is open to
discussion.  I've been looking for the query specification in Kepler -- but to
no avail.
