0016756: [Bulkupload] Toevoegen van een manier om ook 'externe assets' te uploaden via de bulkupload

Toevoegen van een manier om externe assets te uploaden via de bulkupload.
Bijvoorbeeld het toestaan van een

<format>

<action>save</action>
<external> http://test.com/streamit.php?fileName=xyz</external> [^{]
<available>yes</available>}

</format>

in de .vuf file.

Huidige mogelijkheid is

<format>

<action>save</action>
<mediaFile>meer.wmv</mediaFile>
<available>yes</available>
<downloadable>no</downloadable>

</format>

waarbij <mediaFile> wijst naar een bestand dat zojuist is geupload.

Ready. It is on the SVN.
I have fixed a uri/filename bug in the media_management_mediafile.inc file too.

[MC-arjen]

please also fix the documentation.

Code is released in 1.7.2; English documentation yet to be released.

The bulkupload now also supports a method of uploading
external assets.

Hmm, maybe closed to soon....

It seems that the external URL can't contain question marks (and maybe other chars).
When I strip these I notice that the job won't finish.

I observe that question marks go without problem, and that an ampersand has to be 'encoded' as &amp; , but that plain normale XML conventions.

<format>
<action>save</action>
<external>http://test.com/bladiebla?parameter=inhoud&amp;nogmeer=hoera</external>
<available>yes</available>
<downloadable>no</downloadable>
</format>

works as advertised.
