[Qgis-user] load remote data (for a join)

[emmexx]

I'd like to know if it is possible to load non geographical data from a 
remote source to use them for a join with another layer.

The documentation has reference to a SPIT plugin that I don't find in my 
version of qgis (2.6 linux slackware). I'd prefer not to use a direct 
connection to a db but if there's no other way.

json, xml or a csv like format would be good but access through a remote 
connection.

Thank you
