Document::fromUrl() support

[ziming]

I notice there is Image::fromUrl() but there is no Document::fromUrl()

is there a special reason for not supporting fromUrl() for Document? It will be kind of nice if i can pass in a s3 temporary file link instead of having to download the file to my server and then use Document::fromPath()

I tried Document::fromPath('url-to-pdf-file') and got error

Image::fromUrl sends the url to the provider rather than base64 - it's only supported by some providers and will throw an exception for the others.

AFAIK, there's even less vendors that support sending a URL for documents - just Gemini that I know of.

I was planning on adding a fromStorage method though, taking a path and disk. Would that be better for you?

I was actually trying with gemini when I got the error with Document::fromPath(fileUrl)

how about adding a method like Document::fromUrl() but behind the scenes download to server, then submit as file to the llm api then delete the file?

I think spatie medialibrary addMediaFromUrl method does something like that (but I haven't check their code on this as I'm on my phone now)

Hey, this has been added for Mistral: v0.54.0 But the implementation differs from what you suggest.

hi @LarsWiegers I just gave Document::fromUrl() a try but I got this error

"error" => "Sending to model (gemini-2.0-flash) failed: URL document type is not supported by Anthropic"

Hi @ziming i did not implement it for Gemini as i only needed mistral, but feel free to add it to the prism :)
