Open file (from url)

Hi again!

It's real easy what I wanna do, but searching the forums it seems I
need a whole lot of libraries and stuff to make this work. I just want
to open a text file directly from an url - since my employer doesn't
want his users to have to download it manually. So I know the link,
want to do something like :

Open "http://www.blabla.com/fileIneed.txt" For Input As #1

So - I've tried this and didn't work :) - any suggestions?
