Try and use some of the sample applications at http://www.w3.org/Library/Examples/LoadToFile.c linked from http://www.w3.org/Library/Examples/#GET For this particular sample app you must use a file: URI - it can't jsut be a file name.

Anchor objects are neat when you want to know (and remember) things about URIs and the contents behind them. -- Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, <frystyk@w3.org> World Wide Web Consortium, MIT/LCS NE43-356 545 Technology Square, Cambridge MA 02139, USA
