title: Getting a Stream from an absolute path?
body: <p>I have this method:</p>
  
  <p><code>public RasImage Load(Stream stream);</code></p>
  
  <p>if I want to load a url like:</p>
  
  <p><code>string _url = "http://localhost/Application1/Images/Icons/hand.jpg";</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I make this url in to a stream and pass it into my <code>load</code> method?</p>
