stream=ReadStream("http::www.google.com/cse?cx=(MY API KEY)&q=obama&output=xml_no_dtd")

If stream
	While Not stream.Eof()
		Print stream.ReadLine()
	Wend
EndIf

This results in a 403 error, saying "Your client does not have permission to get URL".

That URL looks a bit strange, could you try:

stream=ReadStream("http://www.google.com/cse?cx=(MY API KEY)&q=obama&output=xml_no_dtd")

I'm guessing it still wont work, as a quick google (pun!?) turns up a heap of results with this error...

Other examples from a quick search show https: in the URL -- the BlitzMax http:: protocol doesn't support SSL sockets. You might have to use something like Brucey's libcurl mod, which I believe would do it.

Also, https uses port 443 as far as I'm aware, and Blitz's http:: only supports standard port 80 access I think.
