Is there a similar function to OpenTextStream() that allows me to read from, e.g. http://myserver.com/readme.txt in a server side ASP script?

No. This is why JavaScript is called "client-side". But you can use 
something like :
<%
Set myFileSystem=Server.CreateObject("Scripting FileSystemObject")
Set 
myTextStream=myFileSystem.OpenTextFile("c:\path\to\files\readme.txt",1)
Response.Write(myTextStream.ReadAll)
Response.Write("<br>")
%>
But this is getting a little off topic though.
