Re: [xml] Reading a file over network

["Giorgio Calderone <gcalderone neomedia it>" <gcalderone neomedia it>]

Sorry, i've been misleading.

In the documentation (for example in 
http://www.xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-parser.html#xmlReadFile) there are several 
functions that accepts an URL, giving me the idea that libxml can handle local 
or remote files (through FTP or HTTP) trasparently.

I'd like to create a SAX parser in push mode with the same facility, but I can't
do this using "fread". I know I should open a socket, read from it etc... but I 
was wondering if there is already some function able to do this in libxml2.

Thanks again,
Giorgio
