You should be able to do this in the Desktop but not aware of a way to do that in the service. I tried this in the service by selecting "Local File".

Still same error as of today 4/23. Details: "The downloaded data is HTML, which isn't the expected type. The URL may be wrong or you might not have provided the right credentials to the server."
