Viewing a Text Document online and importing as String

[Biohazard]

Okay so I have a simple issue that no respectable google search can solve.
I have a file located on http://www.tal-soft.co.cc/SpeakSoft/Version1Info.ids

(The IDS file is a text document, just don't want web crawlers to access this unnecessary information.
It's seriously just a single line of text and it's either 1 or 0

I need an integer that reads this line and from there I will use it to let the application notify the user if an update is available

Let me know if this is confusing. I just need a streamreader that reads online files

Thanks John really, I honestly had to modify microsofts code to make it work and to suite my needs, I will post the working version of their post if you want me to
