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.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the Cloud Controller path for uploading buildpacks to the PaaS blobstore and determine how a URL is currently handled. Done means a supplied buildpack URL can be transferred without first storing the file locally, with coverage for the new path.
