I'm not sure if that's desirable. PHPTAL templates can contain PHP code,  
so it's very dangerous to execute templates from arbitrary remote servers.

Why do you want to load templates via HTTP?


If you don't use macros that would need to access other files, you can  
execute remote file using:

$tal = new PHPTAL();
$tal->setSource(file_get_contents('http://...'));

I haven't checked, but my guess is that realpath() used in  
PHPTAL_FileSource doesn't like URL wrappers.
