functionality of wxStream. Seek isn't available on all stream. For example,
http or ftp streams doesn'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.

don't use it anymore. The destructor closes the network connection.
