--- Comment #11 from Manuel Schneider <[email protected]> ---
Which wiki may do an URL upload from which servers can be checked here:

https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php

Search for "wgCopyUploadsDomains".

So the testwiki can only URL upload from upload.wikimedia.org and the defaults
(*.flickr.com, *.staticflickr.com) so far.

I tested the URL upload on testwiki via Special:Upload:

* uploading
http://lan.80686.net/2014-10-23%20Zeitzeugen%20-%2025%20Jahre%20Berliner%20Mauerfall%20-%20Armin%20Schuster.txt
fails "not allowed from this domain"

* uploading
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/49/2013-08-08_14-04-44_Wikimania.jpg
fails "Received HTTP code 403 from proxy after CONNECT"

This problem is on upload.wikimedia.org and has nothing to do with this feature
we are discussing here.

Also, uploading from URL is already active on Commons (and testwiki), we are
only discussing to get the actual form field added to the upload form, instead
of having to run a bot just to make the API call to initiate the URL upload.

So I am saying the test was successful (if other want they may check why
upload.wikimedia.org issues a 403 error, but that's a totally different story)
and I would be happy if we could move forward and fix this bug by activating
this feature on Commons.
