Is there a way to open the file from URL or an external server?

Fatal error: Uncaught Box\Spout\Common\Exception\IOException: Could not open http://00.00.00.00/thefilename.xlsx for reading! Stream wrapper used is not supported for this type of file. in C:\xampp\htdocs\Spout\Reader\AbstractReader.php:73 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\Spout\index.php(14): Box\Spout\Reader\AbstractReader->open('http://00.00.00.00...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\Spout\Reader\AbstractReader.php on line 73

The above is the error that I got. Please note that the IP above is not the real IP. Thanks

You may be able to do it with CSV files. But it does not work for other file types. You'll have to download the file locally first.
