wrap curl/other http library and let people output text from remote urls

I'd be worried about authentication and access control, etc. Also, it's fairly easy to implement the same functionality using file support. I patched together a utility program that reads information in from a websocket on another computer, writes it out to a file, and the result shows up in OBS. It might make sense to keep the functionality separate, since people that need to accept input from remote URLs will probably each have a very individual use case anyway.

What I would be interested in is a way to update the text from the file more often than 1 second (the default for the built-in Text GDI+), but I don't think using the file system would be a good way to do this.
