BIRT Resource folder issue

Is it possible to provide an URL for the BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH entry in the BIRT Web Viewer Application ? I understand that absolute path or relative path (to the BIRTViewer web application) is supported .

My requirement is that the libraries which the report design uses may reside on a remote machine and want to provide access for libraries w/o having to manually copy them across to the BIRT Web Viewer application.
Is this possible with v2.6.1?

Thanks in advance
Vijay

Try something like:
&__resourceFolder=http://localhost:8080/myresourcefolder/

Thanks Jason, 
 
I have tried this on WAS, with security disabled the above solution works fine , but when I enable security 
I get the following exception 
Failed to find out data source of data set "WSDLDocument". (where WSDLDocument is the name of my XML data set present in the rptlibrary) 
Was checking the code OdaDataSetAdapter and DataAdapterUtil.java to identify the location where the security credentials are passed but couldn't get much headway .. 
 
Can you let me know if I am missing something here ?
