Get Books from another calibre server

Is it possible to get a book directly from calibre server located on another computer ?

If not how difficult would it be to add this feature to calibre ? Like beeing able to add the other server url to the list of stores in "Get Books" menu.

Cheers

Caution: This is uses the Network (share) And should only be used to PULL books (Copy To Library), Putting a Library on the network risks damage to the database. I have had years of success PULLING (Pushing failed numerous times) YMMV

The remote Library MUST NOT be in use by a Calibre SESSION.
On the Library icon: Create /Switch; Point it to the Shared Library.

A better way, is just use your Browser (assumes the other Library is running Calibre Content Server ) and use the Download Button for the book

open the server in a browser where you get a full interface that can do many things including downloading book files.
