I don't think the documentation says anything in particular about this. But in fact this works fine if you are using HTSlib's libcurl-based networking and your web server allows you to do HTTP PUT. I'm not sure that this is particularly useful for most people's existing local pipelines, though it may turn out to be helpful for indexing data accessed via clouds.
