Resizing online pics

[eluser]capypara[/eluser]
Is it possible for CI to resize pictures that are stored on other websites (without downloading the pic onto my server first)?

Eg. i want to resize something and the code will go like this.


$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['source_image'] = 'http://i.istockimg.com/file_thumbview_approve/2987570/2/stock-photo-2987570-lop-rabbit.jpg';
$config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
$config['width'] = 25;
$config['height'] = 25;

$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);

$this->image_lib->resize();
