Description
To use parseCSV with OpenFn.org (not just devtools/the open source stuff) we should provide the option to pass a url as the data source for parseCSV(source, options). They could then stream a file from an FTP site, parse it to JSON, and use it in subsequent jobs/flows.
EDIT: After discussion. This can be a replication of [getCSV](https://github.com/OpenFn/language-sftp#sample-getcsv-expression) from language-sftp

Research direction
Start by locating the parseCSV implementation and comparing its current source handling with getCSV in the linked language-sftp example. Determine how a URL should be accepted and how the downloaded CSV becomes JSON, then add coverage for the URL source and confirm existing parseCSV behavior remains unchanged.
