I'm having trouble with getting the remote URL upload feature to work with images on my site. When I enter the url of an image and hit "Transfer", I see the progress bar but nothing happens and the page hangs. Uploading a file stored locally causes no problems whatsoever.

I've checked other reported issues, and I've got the most recent builds of FileField, FileField Sources and Imagefield. I'm also using CCK 6.x-3.x-dev, although the issue was the same using 2.9. cURL and PECL uploadprogress are enabled, and all file permissions are correct on the server.

Any idea where I can start to debug this? Or am I missing something really simple here? Thanks.

Did you find a solution to this? I'm in the same boat...

Does the problem occur for any images from any remote servers?

What version of curl do you have installed for PHP? Visiting /admin/reports/status/php and searching the page for 'curl' should tell you.
I'm using v7.19.7 without problem.
