the curl api supports copying from a remote url without downloading to local first, which could be convenient for larger files.

pb could support this option by parsing if the source file is an url

./pb https://www.image.com/image.png

it can be done now with curl or lynx to get the image and then ./pb but it does not get the mime type correctly, you have to use -e png or so. The ttm client uses the mime type and makes the extension appropriately

though you can do the exact same thing with the curl command, so there is probably no advantage to wrap that into the script
