[AccessD] HTTP Get Request from Access?

The other day Drew Curtis (of Fark.com fame) was on the radio talking
about the early days of the "commercial" internet.  He recalled some
computer science literature written by "internet experts" that
illustrated examples of URLs.  Their sample domain?  xxx.com!  

Hope the students weren't following along directly in class.

Oh my God!!! I'm SO sorry. What the hell happened??? Oh God I realise
now.
The script had a company name I didn't want to publish. I replaced it
with xxx and did this. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry. It was a totally serious
question and a real and very embarassing mistake. I didn't even imagine
anyone would treat it as a link/ the question was how to make the
request. God I'd better find a hole and crawl into it.
