Can I import an externally hosted file with sass?

For those of you who came here looking for a way of importing a CDN as a sass @import I found the answer here: https://github.com/webpack-contrib/sass-loader/issues/246

This is how you do it (using bootstrap as an example):

styles.scss

@import url(https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/latest/css/bootstrap.min.css);
