Hey all --
I looked through the vim FAQ/help but wasn't able to find any
information about network access from within vim, so I thought I'd ask
about it here.
I want to initiate commands from within vim to access a specific
server for information -- a TCP/IP connection, probably a HTTP query
on top of that. Is this possible from within vim, or do I need to use
the system function to call some helper app on the host operating
system?
If I have to use a helper app, what's the best way to detect and act
on the operating system environment.
Thanks,
Stewart
From within Vim, use
:help pi_netrw.txt
HTH,
Tony.
