Reading files from http server

[Peter Rudenko]

Hi, i want to play with Criteo 1 tb dataset. Files are located on azure 
storage. Here's a command to download them:
curl -O 
http://azuremlsampleexperiments.blob.core.windows.net/criteo/day_{`seq 
-s ‘,’ 0 23`}.gz
is there any way to read files through http protocol with spark without 
downloading them first to hdfs?. Something like this:
sc.textFile(" 
http://azuremlsampleexperiments.blob.core.windows.net/criteo/day_{0-23}.gz";), 
so it will have 24 partitions.

Thanks,
Peter Rudenko
