        It is seldom used by the application programmer but you will need it if
        you are writing your own virtual FS. For example you may need something
        similar to wxMemoryInputStream, but because wxMemoryInputStream doesn't
        free the memory when destroyed and thus passing a memory stream pointer
        into wxFSFile constructor would lead to memory leaks, you can write your
        own class derived from wxFSFile:

        class wxMyFSFile : public wxFSFile

                void *m_Mem;

        @param mimetype
            MIME type of this file. It may be left empty, in which
            case the type will be determined from file's extension (location must

    It provides additional protected methods to simplify the process
    of opening the file: GetProtocol(), GetLeftLocation(), GetRightLocation(),

    @remarks
    wxHTML library provides handlers for local files and HTTP or FTP protocol.

    @note
    The location parameter passed to OpenFile() or CanOpen() methods is always an
    absolute path. You don't need to check the FS's current path.
