How to read (open) a file from a website

    Anyone know if it's possible to read a file from a website using the LISP
    OPEN command?

    I'd hoped something like...

    (open "http://www.cadlib.co.uk/webtest.txt" "r")

    ....would work, but it doesn't.

    Any ideas? Any other ways of doing this?

    Cheers, Chris

    You'd be well advised to download the file first to your local hard drive.

    Why not just use a HYPERLINK?

    That's not quite what I'm looking for a it's the web page that's generating
    some information that we want to pull back into AutoCAD to put in a couple
    of attributes in a block.

    Thanks for the suggestion!
