Hello. I'm starting to dive into max but can't get some simple things to work.. I'm trying to fetch an http based url but openfile returns nothing. Here is a simple example (maybe i'm missing an include or something??)
video = OpenFile("http://www.blitzmax.com/img/brllogo-thin.png",True,False)

If Not video Then Print "could not open"

End


What am I doing wrong?

thanks
