I need to send a fax where the source file is coming from an HTTP URL. I have configured hylaFax. When trying a local file, it works fine. But with a URL it gives an error.

The command I am using is something like this:

sendfax -v -h faxhost -f kaur@xyz.com -D -d 1234567890 \
    'http://kaur.dev.xyz.com:7771/app-name/proxy?bName=Test&oName=1.txt'

The error:

Error : 'Can not open file'

The file is downloading when connecting through browser.

sendfax will process stdin so you can pipe documents in:

wget -O - 'http://kaur.dev.xyz.com:7771/app-name/proxy?bName=Test&oName=1.txt' | sendfax -v -h faxhost -f kaur@xyz.com -D -d 1234567890

or

curl 'http://kaur.dev.xyz.com:7771/app-name/proxy?bName=Test&oName=1.txt' | sendfax -v -h faxhost -f kaur@xyz.com -D -d 1234567890
