I can open up a text file but can not open up a file from an URL into a

string.I've tried this on NT4 with IIS4 and MDAC 2.5. Also I tried it on 

Windows 2000 Professional with IIS5 and MDAC 2.6



I'm running this in an ASP page.



<%@ LANGUAGE="VBScript" %>

<!--#include file="ADOVBS.inc"-->

<%Response.Expires=0%>

<%

Dim objStm, str



Set objStm=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")



objStm.Open "URL=http://www.msn.com/default.asp", 1







objStm.Close





any I get this error message in the page





HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error
