The current incarnation of BatchUploadTools relies on physical files to at least:

• Determine which file description files to generate
• Actually upload the files

Since the KMB upload will likely be over url this requires modifications to:

• prepUpload: should be able to generate description files given a list of filename/url pairs
  • could possibly include a step to check that the url is valid/responsive
• uploader: should be able to pass a file url together with the decription page
  • this also requires modification to how files are archived after an un-/successful upload.

Related to this we will also need to ensure that the domain i whitelisted for upload-via-url on Wikimedia Commons.
