\func{}{wxURL}{\param{const wxString\&}{ url}}
-Constructs an URL object from the string.
+Constructs a URL object from the string. The URL must be valid according
+to RFC 1738. In particular, file URLs must be of the format
+'file://hostname/path/to/file'. It is valid to leave out the hostname
+but slashes must remain in place-- i.e. a file URL without a hostname must
+contain three consecutive slashes.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{url}{Url string to parse.}

Destroys the URL object.

\func{wxInputStream *}{GetInputStream}{\void}
-Creates a new input stream on the the specified URL. You can use all but seek
+Creates a new input stream on the specified URL. You can use all but seek
functionality of wxStream. Seek isn't available on all stream. For example,
http or ftp streams doesn't deal with it.
+Note that this method is somewhat depreciated, 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)
+ }
+\end{verbatim}
+
\wxheading{Return value}
Returns the initialized stream. You will have to delete it yourself.
