According to the doc, it is not possible… Is there any solutions?  
Thx, Fred.

You **cannot load images directly from a local server (HTTP URL) into Photoshop via UXP** using fs.getEntryForPersistentToken or fs.getEntryWithUrl.  
These APIs **only work with local file system paths** , not HTTP URLs.
