Hi Koen,

No, the current version doesn't work with remote files, in fact a  
path (NSString) is passed, not an URL. So yes, there definitely is  
room for improvement there.
Perhaps the best would be have indeed the string analysis code  
separated such that also fetched Data from remote locations can be  
fed...
Cheers,
Alex
