### wxProtocol::Reconnect

bool Reconnect()

Tries to reestablish a previous opened connection (close and renegotiate connection).

Return value

true, if the connection is established, else false.

### wxProtocol::GetInputStream

wxInputStream * GetInputStream(const wxString& path)

Creates a new input stream on the specified path. You can use all but seek functionality of wxStream. Seek isn't available on all streams. For example, HTTP or FTP streams don't deal with it. Other functions like StreamSize and Tell aren't available for the moment for this sort of stream. You will be notified when the EOF is reached by an error.

Return value

Returns the initialized stream. You will have to delete it yourself once you don't use it anymore. The destructor closes the network connection.

Return value

Returns true, if successful, else false.
