Archive sharing can be important. While wisk deliberately makes archive creation/maintenance a trivial thing, it currently has no particular support for fetching or hosting archives - which is still a useful feature.

The first positional parameter should be amended to allow for http/https URLs as well as paths. If a URL is given, the remote file is fetched, saved to a temporary directory, and used as the skeleton. This must only work for archives, not for arbitrary paths or FTP-like manifests.

Corrospondingly, the -a flag should allow for http/https URLs as well as paths. If a URL is given, the remote file is fetched and registered.

In neither case should users be prompted for authentication. If such a thing happens, failing immediately should occur. That will be covered in a separate issue.
