Holger,

This is an old thread and I assume you solved your problem, but I'd like to mention that mod_http_cache is now available and can fetch audio from a webserver for playback.

Maybe you could write a script to download the file.  There are plenty of command line tools to do http get (curl, wget).

Hello,

I am trying to write a simple ivr script that answers the call, plays a greeting and collects a few digits. 
Is it possible to fetch the audio through a remote URL (i.e. http://messageServer/en.us/greeting.wav)?

Or does it have to reside on the local file system or a mapped drive?

Kind regards,

Holger
