[request] SendPhoto from URL

[aleritty]

Actually your API support only the official method (upload a local file OR reference a file_id).

But automatically handling URL (so submitting as multipart data) can be really useful.

Thank you for your work!!

Well, We could add support for that but you could simply use built-in PHP functions like file_get_contents and pass on the image URL, then the response to the sendPhoto method.

But thanks for the suggestion though. I'll consider this before the next release and see if we can implement it.
