streaming files with web server in asp.net

[Guest]

I need to have a <webserver> routine (.asmx) that will accept a string value
(This value is a server/URL that will point to a .pdf file on another server
somewhere). Have this file streamed back to the client server or localhost
where I can manipulate the file by reading the contents or saving the file.
Can someone point me where I can get information on how to accomplish this.

Start by getting the file using the web request downloadFile method, that
way you at least have it locally to do with as you will, and streaming it
from there is a simple enough task.
