Can I use exiftool with an URL?

I'm new at exiftool and don't know whether instead of a file, I can put a URL where that file is contained. Can 开发者_如何学JAVAI?

For example:

exiftool http://www.edfr.com/images/wert_1.jpg -j /home/damaris/Desktop/metadata.json

---

try this:

wget -qO - http://www.edfr.com/images/wert_1.jpg | exiftool -j - > /home/damaris/Desktop/metadata.json

---

curl -s http://a.domain.com/bigfile.jpg | exiftool -fast -
