Do you mean, the file in the filesystem does not exist anymore? An 
ExternalFile is like a "pointer" to a file, it does not store the 
actual file content, so if the original file is not there you can't 
get anything.

Or, if you are asking about how to retrieve the (existing) file 
contents, look in the sources for the getContents() method.
