Is it possible (I’m sure it is), to read a text file held remotely, if so, is it done using the likes of io.open etc and if so, what would the path be? Can I use a url?

Looks like I need an external library, and this seems to do what I want …

Any ideas how I install this?
Cheers

Gary,
Luasockets is included in Corona by default, see the API documentation as well as the SimpleImageDownload sample code which shows it in action.
