Can I import attachments by URL in Confluence REST API?

[Dennis Worsham]

In the JIRA JSON api, you can add attachments by giving a url in an attachments array. From the docs for confluence, it looks like I would need to upload the file via multipart post.  Is there a way to give confluence a URL and have it do the download like JIRA does?

looks like the answer to this is "No."  It needs to be a multipart upload.
