Enhance aem-upload library to accept sourceUrls instead of current local filePath and blob only.
Use-case:
After Adobe deprecated the legacy Asset Upload APIs the alternate solution suggested was Open-sourced upload library aem-upload. Unfortunately alternate solution is NOT fully ready. The library allows only local filePath and blob to be uploaded. Does allow external sourceUrls. This was possible with previous AssetManager API which is now deprecated.
Current/Experienced Behavior:
aem-upload does not allow sourceUrl as input
Improved/Expected Behavior:
aem-upload must allow external https sourceUrl as input and must automatically download and upload into AEM.
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable):
This has been reported to the engineering under the internal reference ASSETS-43676. The product team will triage this request to verify feasibility based on the prioritization model. This post will be updated according to Jira's status.
