Image from Internet to AppEngine BlobStore (Java)

I have uploading of pictures in an appengine application. Pictures was saved in blobstore. It uses the html input file.

In addition to that, I want to allow users to save pictures from the internet to the blobstore. If the user have url of a valid picture, I want the picture to be save in blobstore. Is it possible? How to implement this functionality?

e.g. The user will just input url ex. http://domain.com/picture001.jpg then image will be stored in blobstore. Not just the url the picture itself.

Thanks

Use URLFetch to retrieve the image bytes and then use the Files API to write the bytes you fetched to the blobstore.
