The problem may be that you are trying to pass a file which was
uploaded to your server (so it has a
http://localhost:5000/storage/f/...) to the DataProxy, which is an
external service (it lives at http://jsonpdataproxy.appspot.com/) and
does not have access to your computer.

This will work if you were on a publicly accessible instance
(http://yoursite.ckan.org or similar).

Note that the CSV preview works as follows:

1 - If the file has been uploaded to the local datastore, this is used
to query the data
2 - If not, the file is queried via the DataProxy

You are on point 2, so the proper fix is probably installing and
configuring the datastore (and the datastorer extension), as per these
instructions:
