Is there a way of indexing a file from a website URL ?

A custom input using a python/powershell script would do the trick. Have the script access the URL/csv file, loop each line to stdout.

There is a new splunkbase app called "importutil". It lets you import csv files (or any input) from an http url via the splunk search command line. Also works for ftp. sftp is experimental.

Here is an example that imports data from the federal reserve economic data website:

|importutil http http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/data/PAYEMS.csv
| multikv
| table DATE, VALUE
