Hi list,
I'm used to being able to do stuff like:
:edit http://www.vim.org/
Because of the netrw plug-in. However when I execute the above command
in Vim 7.3c I get a bunch of gibberish (binary data), which is
apparently gzip-encoded data:
:write !file -
/dev/stdin: gzip compressed data, from Unix
The strangest thing is that www.vim.org itself doesn't seem to use gzip
compression, so somehow the gzip compression happens on my machine?!
$ curl -s http://www.vim.org/ | file -
/dev/stdin: HTML document text
I tried upgrading to the latest version of the netrw plug-in* but now
it's broken in a different way...:
$ vim -u NONE -U NONE -c ':edit http://www.vim.org/'
"http://www.vim.org/"; Illegal file name
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks in advance :-)
