how to read a text file on the internet?

[Sun]

I want to write an asp to read a text file from another web site.
Is it possible? how to do this??
if possible, please illustrate with the following code.

filename = server.mappath("textfile.txt")
Set fs = server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set thisfile = fs.OpenTextFile(filename, 1, False)

Thanks

: if possible, please illustrate with the following code.
:
: filename = server.mappath("textfile.txt")

This only references the server it runs on.

: Set fs = server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
: Set thisfile = fs.OpenTextFile(filename, 1, False)

Try:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = True
Dim objXML , strURL , strQuote
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
strURL = "http://www.microsoft.com/"
objXML.Open "GET" , strURL , False ,"",""
objXML.Send ""
strQuote = objXML.ResponseText
if len(strQuote) > 0 Then
Response.Write(strQuote)
else
Response.Write("No content received...")
end if
set objXML = nothing
%>

HTH...

Once you have the content, you can then use the filesystemobject to
create an HTML file on the server.

Where can I get more information about the MSXML object?
Since I found that it can't work with chinese content,
so, I want to find out the ways to solve it.
Thanks!!!
