Hello!
Sorry for may bad English, I'm an Austrian. Ok here is my question:

I have a little program which opens a txt file from my local hard disk. Now I want to open a txt file from my web server and put it out in the console window. But how can I open the file ?

This doesn't work:

ptr = fopen("\\http://king.ath.cx//server.txt" ,"r+");
if(ptr == NULL) {
 printf("\nfopen error\n");
 getchar();
}
