`tabix.read` remote files

Is it possible to query indexed VCF files that are stored remotely?

Thanks!

```R
vcf_url <- "ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ftp/release/20110521//ALL.chr18.phase1_release_v3.20101123.snps_indels_svs.genotypes.vcf.gz"

tab <- seqminer::tabix.read(tabixFile =vcf_url, tabixRange =  "8:48673708-48692728")
print(tab)

### character(0)
```
