I am building an Atom Electron app. Right now I have this in the preload.js of one of my webviews:

```
var { requireTaskPool } = require('electron-remote');
var work = '';
var _ = require('lodash');

work = requireTaskPool(require.resolve('./local/path/to/js/file.js'));

function scriptRun() {
  console.log('Preload: Script Started');
  // `work` will get executed concurrently in separate background processes
  // and resolve with a promise
  _.times(1, () => {
    work(currentTab).then(result => {
      console.log(`Script stopped. Total time running was ${result} ms`);
    });
  });
}
module.exports = scriptRun;
scriptRun();

```

It gets a **local** script and then executes it in a background process.

I want to do the same exact thing, except I want to retrieve the script from an external source like so

```
work = requireTaskPool(require.resolve('https://ex.com/path/to/js/file.js'));

```

When I do this, I get errors like:

```
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'https://ex.com/path/to/js/file.js'

```

How can I load external scripts? And then use the loaded scripts with my `work` function. My feeling is that require only works with local files. If AJAX is the answer, can I see an example of how to get a script, then pass it into my `work` without executing it prior?
