From the manual page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php

Tip: You can use a URL as a filename with this function if the 'fopen
wrappers' have been enabled. See 'fopen()' for more details on how to specify
the filename and 'Appendix M' for a list of supported URL protocols.

fopen wrappers:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php#ini.allow-url-fopen

fopen:

Appendix M:

It works only if it's allowed in the php.ini.
