Upload files to cloudinary from url via js

Question

I want to upload (copy) a file from a known url to Cloudinary from client-side javascript code without using any file upload UI. How can it be done?

I read the docs but just couldn't understand how this can be done.

You can use the following syntax:

$('.cloudinary_fileupload').cloudinary_upload_url(url);

This will initiate an upload request to Cloudinary with the url as instead of a local file.

So I have to pass all the other arguments in the <input> field? It seems a little awkward

The common use-case is widgets where a user can either upload a local image or give a remote url. Thus the configuration is done once on the input tag for both cases.

Calling $('.cloudinary_fileupload').cloudinary_upload_url(url); produces following error response - {"error":{"message":"Missing required parameter - file"}}. Any thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong? I think I should mention is that I overrode fileupload add method to manually trigger upload by calling data.submit().
