Is this no longer available?

Nope. Due to security reason. The same situation with remote images and serving them from local.

Allowing your server to fetch arbitrary remote content from user-supplied URLs opens the site up to SSRF security concerns. We mitigated around these concerns but decided in this day and age, the cat and mouse game is really no longer necessary or "worth it".

Fair enough.  Thanks for the explanation.
