reading text files directly off the server ?
can nsis read a remote text file directly off the server ?

curently for the pc, I download an ini file to the TEMP directory and read / compare the variables....

on the mac side, I am using unix commands to read the text files directly off the server. Just wanted to see if could do this for the PC too....

I know apps like notepad can read items directly off a web server, so i guess the CreateFile api supports this (not sure if this was added in 2k or xp)
