PaaS System Engineers / Automated buildpack updates to the PaaS blobstore.
How often will this functionality be used by the user? How often will they use this feature?
We specifically would use this weekly.
Who else is affected by the change? Does this feature cause a breaking change? Are other users affected by this change?
Ultimately the buildpacks being uploaded to the PaaS blobstore faster does allow for developers to test changes faster.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
The problem we're seeing here is speed. Whenever we update buildpacks to the latest version weekly, the cf-cli first downloads the buildpack locally (from our internal artifactory instance) and then pushes that local file to the PaaS blobstore.
Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I'd like an IF condition to be added to the code so that whenever we supply the path as a URL, just have the cli upload those bits directly to the PaaS blobstore instead of first downloading the file locally.
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Hello @johnewhitley!
Thank you for opening this pull request, I contacted the API team in slack (https://cloudfoundry.slack.com/archives/C07C04W4Q/p1589818344299100), we download the buildpack bits because the API does not support providing a url, to change this we would need to add this functionality on the API side. I would encourage opening this same github issue in the CAPI repo (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cloud_controller_ng).
I am closing this now but feel free to re-open if you feel I've closed it in error, thank you and sorry I couldn't be more help!
