hw_GetRemote - Gets a remote document

SYNOPSIS
       int hw_getremote (int  $connection, int	$objectID)

DESCRIPTION
	Gets a remote document.

	Remote	documents  in Hyperwave notation are documents retrieved from an external source. Common remote documents are for example external
       web pages or queries in a database.

	In order to be able to access external sources through remote documents Hyperwave introduces the HGI (Hyperwave Gateway  Interface)  which
       is similar to the CGI. Currently, only ftp, http-servers and some databases can be accessed by the HGI.

	Calling  hw_getremote(3)  returns the document from the external source. If you want to use this function you should be very familiar with
       HGIs. You should also consider to use PHP instead of Hyperwave to access external sources. Adding database support by a	Hyperwave  gateway
       should be more difficult than doing it in PHP.

PARAMETERS
	      o $connection
		- The connection identifier.

	      o $objectID
		- The object identifier.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns a remote document.
