Blueprint Code:

In order to make this work, there is a pixel streaming command that the user needs to send.

{"cmd":"getDownloadUrlOfLocalFile","fileToDownload":" (Path to Local File with extension) "}

The Complete path Example will be something like:

{"cmd":"getDownloadUrlOfLocalFile","fileToDownload":"C:\Unreal\Content\image.png"}

For demonstration in this document this code is added to a widget blueprint and being executed on Event Construct:

Then the BindEventOnInputEvent, there will be a response message from the system which will contain the download URL. This response will be:

{"type":"takeDownloadUrlOfLocalFile","downloadURL":"(DownloadURL)","localFile":"(FilePathInLocal)"}

Here is how you can get the Download URL from it in Unreal:

You can open this URL by running another pixel stream command.

{"cmd":"lunchUrl","value":"(URL to Open)"}
