title: Reading first line of a text file in javascript
body: <p>Let's say I have a text file on my web server under <code>/today/changelog-en.txt</code> which stores information about updates to my website. Each section starts with a version number, then a list of the changes.</p>
  
  <p>Because of this, the first line of the file always contains the latest version number, which I'd like to read out using plain JavaScript <em>(no jQuery)</em>. Is this possible, and if yes, how?</p>
