Hi Brian,

The tURLArticlePath contains an absolute path like
³http://www.whatever.com/folder/file.html.² It works locally from Rev
environment, but doesn¹t work from the local server. What¹s worse, is that
if you put ³return or put the result², you get nothing either. I tried using
open file tURLArticlePath foe read, but no luck as well.
