There's the rub. This method is not as straight forward as you're
hoping with just doing it via URL. The webserver (https) needs to
have access to the "another" server and map the \\Network share to a
virtual directory so it is available to web clients. There are also
network permissions to consider, ensuring the webserver has proper
rights to \\AnotherServer.

Sorry, there are a couple hoops to jump through here; the good news
is it's a very well-worn path, lots of folks have done this, and we
can help you through it :)
