I know. The thing is, I don't want to write this to a file on the local disk and
then reread it into a string. Why do two disk operations when I can do none?

Unfortunately, I know too little about native windows programming and euphoria
dll wrapping. Have been trying to figure out some of it, but didn't seem to get
the right results.

According to 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/networking/moniker/reference/functions/urlmon_ref_functions_entry.asp
the URLOpenStream function creates a push type stream object from a URL. Could
this stream be turned into a euphoria sequence (string)? Are there any volunteers
to wrap this function for me? The original URL Moniker DLL wrapper in euphoria is
here: http://www.rapideuphoria.com/urlmon.zip.

If there are no volunteers, I won't bother the list with this anymore.

Thanks,
HY
