No, of course not. The 'command' property of an Exec (or its title if you
don't specify the 'command' as a separate parameter) is a literal command
such as you would issue from a shell. Shells don't do URIs.

That is a viable option. Alternatively, on a POSIX system such as Linux,
you could also do something like this:
exec { 'myscript':
command => file('/path/to/script'),
provider => 'shell'
}
where /path/to/script is the location of your script *on the master*. That
includes the full content of the script directly in the catalog, bypassing
Puppet's file server.
