How to open a local file with Chrome using adb shell?

I want to open a local file with Chrome from the adb shell. Something like

adb shell 'echo This is a test input file > input.txt'
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d input.txt

But it opens Chrome with the file name in the url but with an error message that the page cannot be opened. How can I do it?
