Code:

       eval [::http::data $token]

that won't work as intended, you are evaluating in a proc, not in the global context in which that script most likely expects to be evaluated; use [uplevel]

not directly, but you could use http::geturl to get the script and eval its content.

Code:

package require http 2.4::http::geturl {http://blah.net/somescript.tcl} -command httploadscriptproc httploadscript {token} {   if {[::http::ncode $token] == 200} {       uplevel #0 [::http::data $token]   } else {       putlog "Failed to load file from website: [::http::error $token]"   }   ::http::cleanup $token   return 0}

use at your own risk, since if the content of the site changes and contains some bad code, someone might be able to takeover your bot.
Also note that the script will be loaded asyncron, meaning it will most likely be loaded at last (so put all source commands that require that script to be already loaded after the eval line).

Edit: eval -> uplevel like demond mentioned.
