Larry,

No. Although Net.data used to support the equivalent feature via the INCLUDE_URL statement but IBM deprecated this long ago and it was only supported on platforms other the OS/400 so we could never use it anyway.
You must either roll your own or use a 3rd party "get url" function, like HTTPAPI for example.
Failing that, I hesitate to say that technically it would be possible to have the browser itself request the url, via a <script> element, <iframe> or ajax and then post the content back to your server and then include it via a regular include block, but that would be very convoluted.

Shouldn't it just be:
1. map the server with NFS
2. use the IFS path to the file you need?

Does anyone know if net.data allows use of a file on a remote server in a
%include statement. Can I do something like

%include "http://www.somesite.com/somefile.html";

I'm pretty sure this is doable in PHP
