Question

I’m building an application that supposed to store some images from user’s Facebook accounts into my datastore for later usage,

All i could find so far is how to upload an image directly from a form:

 (form action="(<%= blobstoreService.createUploadUrl("/upload") %>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        (input type="file" name="myFile">
        (input type="submit" value="Submit">
    (/form>

that’s not what I’m looking for,
i would like to store images from a known url such as:
http://www.otherSite.com/imagename.jpg
to my datastore. (i know how to fetch the images from the FB graph api already)

I think gae has this as a separate service. UrlFetch- https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/urlfetch/
