Detailed Description

This object describes a HyperText Transport Protocol resource which is a single file. The file can be anywhere in the file system and is mapped to the specified URL location in the HTTP name space defined by the PHTTPSpace# class.

The difference between this and PHTTPFile is that it continually outputs the contents of the file, as per the unix "tail -f" command.
