Indesign scripting relink Graphic.itemLink to external web url

[hladdha123]

Hi,

I have a simple function in InDesign ESTK script to link images with external web urls like this -

function relink_converted_image(filename, path, converted_label) {
    try {   
        var results = app.documents.item(0).allGraphics;
        var found_links = [];
        var label = converted_label.split('__doc=').pop();
        for(var i=0; i < results.length; i++) {
            if(results.itemLink != null) {
                var result_label = results.itemLink.label;                
                if(result_label && result_label == label) {
                    logMe('found id - ' + label);
                    var file_web = File(path);
                    var newLink = results.itemLink.relink(file_web);
                    found_links.push(results.itemLink.filePath);
                    try {
                        results.itemLink['label'] = converted_label;
                    } catch(e) {
                        logMe(e.toString());
                    }
                    try {
                        newLink['label'] = converted_label;
                    } catch(e) {
                        logMe(e.toString());
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return JSON.stringify({err: 0, data: found_links});
    } catch(e) {
        return JSON.stringify({err: -1, data: e});
    }
}

the sample input that I am passing is -

relink_converted_image("cfc7cfdf-bc59-4dfc-90af-bfa4d74618da__doc=07012017_comp__id=0xUKYw8.PNG","http://localhost:3000/prod_equation_images/cfc7cfdf-bc59-4dfc-90af-bfa4d74618da__doc=07012017_comp__...", "cfc7cfdf-bc59-4dfc-90af-bfa4d74618da__doc=07012017_comp__id=0xUKYw8.PNG");

and all my images are linked and labelled uniquely locally.

Now, I am not able to relink the found linked graphic with a asset on a different local server with -

File('web_asset_url')

or

results.itemLink.relink('web_asset_url')

Are there any other ways to add dynamic link assets hosted externally with InDesign ?
