+Note that this method is somewhat deprecated, all future wxWidgets applications
+should really use \helpref{wxFileSystem}{wxfilesystem} instead.
+
+Example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxURL url("http://a.host/a.dir/a.file");
+ if (url.GetError() == wxURL_NOERR)
+ {
+ wxInputStream *in_stream;
+
+ in_stream = url.GetInputStream();
+ // Then, you can use all IO calls of in_stream (See wxStream)
+ }
