Using URL in Source/Patch?

["W. Reilly Cooley, Esq." <wcooley nakedape cc>]

I know that accoring to Maximum RPM an URL specified in Sources or
Patches does not actually get followed and just the filename itself
I used, but has anyone actually considered implementing this feature?
It seems like it would be very useful because you could use it to set
up a system like the Perl CPAN system, or FreeBSD ports.  It would be
very useful to me for building an internal build system.

seemed dirty, though a close glance showed him as carefully shaven as an
actor, and clad in immaculate linen."
