I see - no there is no support for doing that directly, however vm-import can 
take its data from STDIN (by doing vm-import filename=/dev/stdin), so you could 
in theory couple wget and xe together, with something like (I've not tested 
this so some of the options to wget might not be right):

wget -q -O - http://some.random.url/some.xva | xe vm-import filename=/dev/stdin
