\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.}

+Creates a new input stream on the specified URL. You can use all but seek
+functionality of wxStream. Seek isn't available on all streams. For example,
+HTTP or FTP streams don'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();
