It's not possible out of the box. But you could probably do something
along the lines of:
[% BLOCK httpquery %]
[% # 'ua' is a reference to an LWP::UserAgent
response = ua.simple_request('GET', $url);
response.content;
%]
[% END %]
[% INSERT httpquery("http://otherdomain.com/pelements/head.html";) %]
[% PROCESS httpquery("http://otherodmain.com/templates/foo.tt2";) %]
I do think though, that it shouldn't be too hard to patch TT2 to do the
LWP Stuff by itself when a file looks like a URI. For security reasons
this functionality would have to be enabled explicitly in the Template
Processor.
PHP does exactly this and it is something I like a lot in PHP. What do
other people on the list think?
