Given a template:

heat_template_version: 2013-05-23
resources:
  provider_resource:
    type: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dragorosson/91e4ab99ffb600e8f7d4/raw/a5d1029371065435fc2d2ac5d13eb4a6e405d200/provider_resource.yaml

With a provider resource:

heat_template_version: 2013-05-23
resources:
  server:
    type: OS::Heat::RandomString

URLs for these templates:

If we try to validate this template, it fails:

heat template-validate -u https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dragorosson/2ff5f5627e0b3650982b/raw/b58069ae5d4097e067faa37d9a828baf3aefcf99/provider_template_test.template

However, if we do stack-create, it succeeds:
