Feature request - Fetch files from URL

[syssgx]

A good feature would be to be able to fetch a pdf file from another location, just like there is a local file dialog now.

Will not work in most cases due to cross-origin policy. See http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/

i know :) but there might be a way to enable a field for it, as there are already libraries from cross-domain ajax requests.
thus, this makes anyone wanting to do something like it, hack the source.

Those libraries will require server backend. There is no intention to add server portion to this project yet.

WON'T FIX?

[syssgx]

ok, perhaps some time in the future for this feature, you can close this one :)

Our Firefox extension won't be restricted to same-origin requests.
