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.
