Making a simple program that updates itself using internet...

[Guest_imported]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a program that updates itself using internet.
It must do the following things:
1. Read a file located at "

http://www.example.exm/text.txt"

2. Add to a list box the entire file.
example:
if the file is in my computer I do the following thing:
var
ficheiro1:textfile;
text1:string;
begin
listbox1.items.clear;
assignfile (ficheiro1,'text.txt');
reset (ficheiro1);
while not eof (ficheiro1) do
begin
readln (ficheiro1,text1);
listbox1.items.add (text1);
end;
closefile (ficheiro1);
end;

The questions are:

How do I read a file from internet???
I see some programs do it but no source code

If you don't understand I could explain better

Hello, it's me again...

I've done it
Simple drag an NMHTTP to your form from your fastnet tab, drag a memo, and then drag a button and write this on click:

nmhttp1.get ('

http://www.example.exm/yourfile.txt');

memo1.text:=nmhttp1.body;

simple and easy
Any other example?

Not everyone will have a 'Fastnet' Tab of course, but I am sure there are Third party components that do the same thing !!
