title: Read File stored on some URL using HTML5 File API
body: <p>I'm using HTML5 file API to upload files to my web application. </p>
  
  <p>I have an input element on my web page using which I read files and call upload function</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="file"&gt;
  
  $('input[type="file"]').on("change",function(e){
        console.log(this.files);
        // upload each file in this.files
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works perfectly for native files on os. I want to now upload remote files e.g., example.com/blah/file1.jpg My question is how do I read this file using File API? Is there a way to do it?</p>
