Default How to read simple txt file from URL?

Plz help,
I have problem with reading txt file from URL. I tried with File.OpenText:

filetoread = MapPath("http://www.sitename/file.txt")
Dim filestream As StreamReader
filestream = File.OpenText(filetoread)

And when I run it, Error Message comes:
Map paths expected to be virtual

Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Thx.

Hi
you can not read text file on other server through file object. For that my idea is you need to download that file on your server and then you can read it.

You could use the HttpRequest class to create a Http request to that URL. The resulting response will contain the HTML response from the request, which in this case will be the file contents.

Sorry, I meant to write the HttpWebRequest class.
