Issue #4997 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
That's a perfectly good answer :)
I think we have a perfectly good solution to your problem right now though.
Write a custom function called "fetch" or something.
This function takes one argument, an HTTP URL.
The function evaluates that argument, fetches the file content, and returns it.
<pre>
file { "/etc/foo.conf":
contents => fetch("http://foo.mydomain.com";),
}
</pre>
This would be incredibly trivial to write, and I think it's much better
practice. If you have this data changing dynamically at the other end of
http://foo.mydomain.com, then you should be embedding it in the catalog I
believe.
Would that work for you?

We would like to be able to use an HTTP source for the file type. Looking at
the code, it probably would not be too difficult so perhaps someone has
considered this before.
