Regenerating thumbnails from an external URL #827

When Prophoto tries to generate thumbnails, if it can't find the file locally in the filesystem, it serves up a placeholder image. Is there a WP filter available somewhere where we can intercept that check to see if the image exists locally, and have it scan an external url instead for the image?

We could copy the image from the external source (think S3), store it in the original spot, and then continue on its merry way generating thumbnails.
