-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.

-Initializes the protocol and opens the input stream.
+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");
