Is there a way to configure Alfresco to upload documents via a URL?e.g. type in http://mywebsite.com/mydocument.pdfKarl

Alfresco webscripts api:s is available via http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/, ie http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/api/upload
Documentation http:/localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index/uri/api/upload

I've not tested this, but we are able to upload documents in Share, so of course there is a way.

Hmm, reading again, the question is about url uploading, and likely not possible as ssaravan said.

If I understand correctly you want the server to read the contents of a URL and write it into a content property.

That sounds like a something you could do in an action, a rule, or a custom control in share. It's a bit "backwards" since web browsers normally push content to be written to the server. However assuming that the server can read the content then its going to be fairly easy.
