It only support http:// link right? But my json file is in git repo.Which give us https:// Link

Darn, yea looks like it has that limitation. You can achieve this with the Socket() object, but last I tried I wasn't able to figure it out as there's next to zero documentation on this. Here's a few examples to get you started:

That's entirely up to the parameters of invoking the command line/ Windows Scripting Host/ Power Shell itself and has nothing to do with AE. Check the Windows docs. The best option is likely to create a specific batch file or link and execute this instead of directly addressing the receiver app.
