Does videoPlayer.url supports playing live video from hosted url?

I'm following this sample code to play video from unity docs VideoPlayer and also came to this via google search. I'm using Unity 5.6.1f1

This code - > works fine when i play video from local file system or by assigning video clip in editor.

   using System.Collections;
     using System.Collections.Generic;
     using UnityEngine;
     using UnityEngine.UI;
     using UnityEngine.Video;
     
     public class StreamVideo : MonoBehaviour {
     
         public RawImage image;
     
         //public VideoClip videoToPlay;
     
         private VideoPlayer videoPlayer;
         private VideoSource videoSource;
     
         private AudioSource audioSource;
         
         // Use this for initialization
         void Start () {
             Application.runInBackground = true;
             StartCoroutine(playVideo());
         }
     
         IEnumerator playVideo()
         {
           
             //Add VideoPlayer to the GameObject
             videoPlayer = gameObject.AddComponent<VideoPlayer>();
     
             //Add AudioSource
             audioSource = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();
     
             //Disable Play on Awake for both Video and Audio
             videoPlayer.playOnAwake = false;
             audioSource.playOnAwake = false;
             audioSource.Pause();
     
             //We want to play from video clip not from url
             
           //videoPlayer.source = VideoSource.VideoClip;
     
             // Vide clip from Url
             videoPlayer.source = VideoSource.Url;
             videoPlayer.url = "http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4";
     
     
             //Set Audio Output to AudioSource
             videoPlayer.audioOutputMode = VideoAudioOutputMode.AudioSource;
     
             //Assign the Audio from Video to AudioSource to be played
             videoPlayer.EnableAudioTrack(0, true);
             videoPlayer.SetTargetAudioSource(0, audioSource);
     
             //Set video To Play then prepare Audio to prevent Buffering
             //videoPlayer.clip = videoToPlay;
             videoPlayer.Prepare();
     
             //Wait until video is prepared
             WaitForSeconds waitTime = new WaitForSeconds(1);
             while (!videoPlayer.isPrepared)
             {
                 Debug.Log("Preparing Video");
                 //Prepare/Wait for 5 sceonds only
                 yield return waitTime;
                 //Break out of the while loop after 5 seconds wait
                 break;
             }
     
             Debug.Log("Done Preparing Video");
     
             //Assign the Texture from Video to RawImage to be displayed
             image.texture = videoPlayer.texture;
     
             //Play Video
             videoPlayer.Play();
     
             //Play Sound
             audioSource.Play();
     
             Debug.Log("Playing Video");
             while (videoPlayer.isPlaying)
             {
                 Debug.LogWarning("Video Time: " + Mathf.FloorToInt((float)videoPlayer.time));
                 yield return null;
             }
             Debug.Log("Done Playing Video");
         }
     }

But when I enable, it doesn't play video.

 videoPlayer.url = "http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4";
 

Nothing happens... So my question is **does it even supports playing video from url say http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4?**
