+ *
+ * This example source code introduces an fopen()/fread()/fclose() emulation
+ * for URL reads. Using an approach similar to this, you could replace your
+ * program's fopen() with this url_fopen() and fread() with url_fread() and
+ * it should be possible to read remote streams instead of (only) local files.
+ *
+ * See the main() function at the bottom that shows a tiny app in action.
+ *
+ * This source code is a proof of concept. It will need further attention to
+ * become production-use useful and solid.
+ *
+ * This example requires libcurl 7.9.7 or later.
