Thread: Reading Files with fstream

Is it possible to read a file off the internet using fstream? For example can I do something like:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>

int main()
{
char buffer[50];
ifstream File("www.internetSite.com/file.txt");
File.getline(buffer,50);
cout << buffer;
File.close()
return 0;
}

Can someone please tell me how I could do something like this using fstream or a different method?
