[Cctools-cchost] Upload by URL

[Asheesh L. <as...@as...>]

Developers! Developers! Developers!

I'm working on the freemusic.freeculture.org project (mentioned in a prior 
email to this list).  Since our goal is to use ccHost for rating existing 
music, we want to let users point us to a web link to find a song rather 
than having to spend ten minutes uploading a song already on the 'net 
because the user has a slow 'net connection.

What would be a good way to modify ccHost to accept URLs as pointers to 
grab music files?

I'd be happy to do HTML parsing/scraping to look for references to known 
file types in case the user gives us a blog link rather than the link to 
the file itself, for what it's worth.
