There was a problem hiding this comment.
Might make more sense to have this single util that downloads files moved to collector/utils/files/index.js since it has to do with files only and we can probably re-use it too

resolves #2110
What is in this change?
This PR introduces an enhancement to the document upload modal: the web scraping input field can now fetch, parse, and convert statically hosted files (e.g., https://example.com/a-file.pdf) and API endpoints returning JSON (e.g., https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts) into application documents.
