Julia可以从流而不是从文件中读取

Question

有没有办法从网络URL或runpipe外部命令读取表？似乎DataFrame.readtable仅支持从文件读取.

例如在R中我们可以做到:

df = read.table(url("http://example.com/data.txt"))

x = read.table(pipe("zcat data.txt | sed /^#/d  | cut  -f '11-13'"), colClasses=c("integer","integer","integer"), fill=TRUE, row.names=NULL)

using DataFrames, Requests

julia> resp = get("https://data.cityofnewyork.us/api/views/kku6-nxdu/rows.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD")
Response(200 OK, 17 headers, 27350 bytes in body)

julia> tbl = readtable(IOBuffer(resp.data));
