RE: netrw v103b
|Hmm, well using your example (http://www.grida.no/arctic/) both curl |and wget yield an empty file. Maybe that was a very bad example, if you look at the headers in curl, that yields a 302 redirect and not an empty page (which should be a 404) - my wget follows that redirect (there might be a switch for curl to do that as well). Try something else: http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/ http://maps.grida.no/ http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/ (all these return a 200 code, and html) :) /Hugo

I am having a similar issue, but I am using 102 from the main Vim website:

I don't like modifying files in the $VIM directory.
I tried this and it still did not fix the problem on my machine (I still
cannot browse the files in my directory).
I also get this:
:pwd
C:\
:e .
"C:\" Illegal file name

After removal of all previous installations of netrw, in particular the netrw that is made available from the standard vim distribution, then do a netrw install. Also: there's been a small change in vimballs; you'll need the latest vimball plugin to handle it properly.

I have the same setup and had a similar problem after
installing the new releases to $vim\vimfiles or ~\vimfiles.
Do you still have the distribution copy of netrw v98
installed to $vimruntime?
If so, either remove it (all 6 files) or make the following
change to $vim\plugin\netrwPlugin.vim:
Replace (right after the "Load Once" line):
if exists("g:loaded_netrw")
finish
endif
with:
if exists("g:loaded_netrwPlugin")
finish
endif
let g:loaded_netrwPlugin = 1

Best regards,
Bill
