Because of the potential security issues, the option to supply URL's is
often not enabled:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen
Most of the time you can just look at your error messages when an include
doesn't work on your server to figure out what the local path should be.
