Subject: file i/o api for URL
X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas

I need a file i/o api (you know: open, close, read, seek, ...) for URLs.  This
would give me a simple way to let any application access local or remote
files.  Does anybody have this kind of code already or have a suggestion
other than hacking it out of the www lib?  Thanks.  Leo.
