If you're just trying to open a webpage in the default browser, feed the concatenated string/url to OpenURL().

Use Driver.OpenURL() instead if you want to access secure servers. Does exactly the same as OpenURL, only it bypasses a bit of prefix checking.

If you're trying to read returned data into Blitz, try using ReadStream instead of OpenStream. OpenStream allows both reading and writing, which could be why it isn't working for URLs.
