Public Sub ReadURL( _ ByVal URL As Variant _ ) |
The URL may begin http://, https://, ftp://, gopher:// or file://, and the appropriate access method will be used. Note that for local files, security restrictions apply.
Where authentication is required, the standard format may be used:
ReadURL(“http://username:password@servername/path”)
This method can read either official “Part10” format files with the 128 byte header, or unofficial “Part3” format files without a header, and detection of the type is automatic.
The file may have been written by the WriteFile method or by other DICOM software.
