Default mailmerge using remote xml

I am trying to mailmerge using an external (web based) xml source.
I am using
objWordDoc.MailMerge.OpenDataSource("http://myservername/mailmerge/getdata.php", 'wdOpenFormatXML');
The test program getdata.php returns a valid XML file.

I know that in early threads, this was not possible, but thought that as the years had progressed, so might the interface.

Is there a way of reading remote XML (or CSV for that matter) files and using them in mailmerge?

Any help would be appreciated.
