Replacing crlf by cr when importing from URL

Question

p. 177

You suggest to replace crlf with cr after reading a textfile from an URL. However, in the dictionary, a note specifies:

Likewise, if you put data into a fileURL or get data from it, end-of-line translation is performed, but not if you put data into or get data from a binfileURL.

Is this automatic translation really limited to local files ? Or is your replace statement just a precaution ?

Answer 1

The translation is limited to local files.
