PDF Document reference numbers are starting at 30000 and counting up for each new document.
Use PDFKit.Release later to free the memory.
Seems to work for HTTP protocol, too. The Apple frameworks transparently handle this out of the control of the plugin. With HTTPS after redirect from HTTP is also possible. For more control, please use CURL functions.

MBS("PDFKit.OpenURL"; "http://www.somedomain.invalid/somepath/test.pdf")
