fetch two images in cloudinary and overlay each on the other

Question

I found how to overlay two already uploaded cloudinary images through the below query

http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/w_400,h_250,c_fill,g_south/l_nice_couple,w_90,g_center,y_18,x_-20/coffee_cup.jpg

this is image

if we stripdown the above query the format is

http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/
w_400,h_250,c_fill,g_south/
l_
nice_couple,
w_90,g_center,y_18,x_-20/
coffee_cup.jpg

in the above nice_couple is the one which going to overlay on top of the coffee_cup.jpg.

What i want is that both images which i am using overlaying mechanism has to be fetched from another url.

http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/fetch/
w_400,h_250,c_fill,g_south/
l_
nice_couple,
w_90,g_center,y_18,x_-20/
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/Sachin_at_Castrol_Golden_Spanner_Awards_%28crop%29.jpg.jpg

i was able successfully fetched one image in the overlaying mechanism through the above query. But if i try to change the nice_couple image to another fetching url it's not working

w_400,h_250,c_fill,g_south/

That is an already pending feature request at Cloudinary.
At the meantime you can try to use auto-upload to have the overlay image lazily uploaded to your account when used within the transformation. For example:
mapping the "remote_media/" folder to "http://upload.wikimedia.org/ wikipedia/commons/" will allow you to use the following URL: http://res.cloudinary.com/dcd0vnhxd/image/fetch/l_upload:remote_media:0:0c:Scarlett_Johansson_Césars_2014.jpg,w_30/remote_media/4/46/Jennifer_Lawrence_at_the_83rd_Academy_Awards.jpg
