Open zip file from a web url

I wish to be able to import and extract from.

 

https://www.propertypriceregister.ie/website/npsra/ppr/npsra-ppr.nsf/Downloads/PPR-ALL.zip/$FILE/PPR...

 

This sort of thing doesnt work:

 

let
Source = Web.Contents("https://www.propertypriceregister.ie/website/npsra/ppr/npsra-ppr.nsf/Downloads/PPR-ALL.zip/$FILE/PPR..."),
Decompress = Binary.Decompress(Source, Compression.GZip)
in
Decompress

 

 

Any ideas?

Perfect, all it needs is to be an out of the box connector type.
