How to Include a HTML file outside my web-application into a JSP inside my application

Question

I have a HTML Page at a Web Publisher whose content i want to load in a JSP inside my web application. I have tried JSP:Include action and Include directive but both of them seem to take only relative path. I cannot have a local copy of that html file because that is subject to changes in future and i need to include it dynamically. How to include a file using an absolute path?

The JSTL c:import taglib allows you to import a file from any url, http:// or file://. See http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/jstl/1.1/docs/tlddocs/c/import.html
