I'm familiar with linecache.getli ne(filename, lineno). But what I was wondering was if it was possible to use a web address in place of the filename. So rather than C:/Webcontent/mytextfile.txt I want to be able to substitute http://www.mysite/webcontent/mytextfile.txt The goal I hope to accomplish is to let people fill out my questionair and let python organize it in my text file. I have gotton it to work alright on my computer, but can't seem to figure out how to do it to a file located on the internet.
