If you are using PHP, you can do something like:

    function fileExists($path){
        return (@fopen($path,"r")==true);
    }
    $ext = explode('.','https://cgdev-originals.s3.amazonaws.com/fp9emn.jpg');
    if(fileExists('https://cgdev-originals.s3.amazonaws.com/fp9emn.jpg')){
        $contents = file_get_contents('https://cgdev-originals.s3.amazonaws.com/fp9emn.jpg');
        header('Content-type: image/'.end($ext));
        echo $contents;
    }

And access the image by using that php file, like if the file is called generateImage.php you can do and the external image url can be a get parameter for the file
