I want to import product images from external url in default import section (not in dataflow). I have already tried http://www.blog.magepsycho.com/how-to-import-product-images-from-external-url-in-magento/

It's not possible in default Magento. I suggest you add a preprocessing step which downloads the files into /media/import/.

For example, you could add a bash script using wget. Or you could create a PHP script which can be called on the shell which downloads the files using Zend_Http_Request. Or use any other programming language. Personally, I'd use FastSimpleImport (avstudnitz.github.io/AvS_FastSimpleImport) and include that in a Magento PHP script. FastSimpleImport can download images on the fly if you provide the URL in the _media_image field. If you are no developer, you can either hire one or download the image files manually into media/import/.
