LH Add Media From Url

It does not work when the URL contains spaces. Luckily I can change the URL so I can workaround the issue, but it would be much better if it worked out of the box with any valid URL. Five stars if you fix it.



It nearly works

Upload files from an url to wordpress media library, either enter file urls in an onsite input box or click a bookmarklet.

<p>This’ll help you get up and running, whether you’re a service that can accept content, a site  that has content to share, or a tool of some sort. Remember that OExchange isn’t limited to “sharing” things; it applies to any case where one service wants to send URL-based content to another — microblogging, translating, printing, whatever.</p>
