Ok then,
thanks for the answers - I'll look into using the getURLContent function
then.

 Well, 
 file:// aside, I'm wondering whether there is an xwiki macro that will 
 actually get the URL content of a certain URL, and render it within a
 page. 
 ==Yes that works fine.==
 I thought that this was what getURLContent did, but if such is the case, 
 then it's my understanding that the macro runs on the server to render a 
 page which it makes available to the client side. 
 ==Correct.==
 Then, it is the server that accesses the said URL content, hence the
 browser 
 security settings would be irrelevant since the client browser is reading
 a 
 wiki page like any other, no matter where the URL content originated
 from. 
 ==Sure. But if the server can access a remote page then so can your local
 browser ;) (unless you have proxy security settings that prevent you from
 doing so).==
 Indeed, it is security settings preventing me - IE's default settings let
 it through and I do see the webpage. However I don't want to have to
 change those settings enterprise-wide, which is why I'm looking into an
 alternate solution.
 Thanks
