How can I read the content of a text file in the File Storage and save it in a variable?

There are a few ways.

ns_http is indirect.

By examining the code associated with the url where one would click to see text file contents from file-storage ie file-storage/www/download/index.vuh the file-storage way is with: cr_write_content

The api-doc[1] states that adding "-string" to parameters will return content as string instead of sending to connection.
