-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.
\constfunc{wxString}{GetProtocolName}{\void}
Returns the name of the protocol which will be used to get the URL.
\constfunc{wxString}{GetProtocolName}{\void}
Returns the name of the protocol which will be used to get the URL.
\func{wxProtocol\&}{GetProtocol}{\void}
Returns a reference to the protocol which will be used to get the URL.
\func{wxProtocol\&}{GetProtocol}{\void}
Returns a reference to the protocol which will be used to get the URL.
\constfunc{wxURLError}{GetError}{\void}
Returns the last error. This error refers to the URL parsing or to the protocol.
It can be one of these errors:
\twocolwidtha{7cm}
\constfunc{wxURLError}{GetError}{\void}
Returns the last error. This error refers to the URL parsing or to the protocol.
It can be one of these errors:
\twocolwidtha{7cm}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_NOERR}}{No error.}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_SNTXERR}}{Syntax error in the URL string.}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_NOPROTO}}{Found no protocol which can get this URL.}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_NOHOST}}{An host name is required for this protocol.}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_NOPATH}}{A path is required for this protocol.}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_CONNERR}}{Connection error.}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_NOERR}}{No error.}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_SNTXERR}}{Syntax error in the URL string.}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_NOPROTO}}{Found no protocol which can get this URL.}

\twocolitem{{\bf wxURL\_CONNERR}}{Connection error.}
-Initializes the protocol and opens the input stream.
+Creates a new input stream on the 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.
\func{static void}{SetDefaultProxy}{\param{const wxString\&}{ url\_proxy}}
Sets the default proxy server to use to get the URL. The string specifies
\func{static void}{SetDefaultProxy}{\param{const wxString\&}{ url\_proxy}}
Sets the default proxy server to use to get the URL. The string specifies
