Trying to :read a remote file on VimEnter results in

    Error detected while processing VimEnter Auto commands for "*":
    E484: Can't open file http://www.openssh.org/txt/rfc1349.txt

I used the following minimal vimrc with Vim 7.4a.

    filetype plugin indent on
    autocmd VimEnter * read http://www.openssh.org/txt/rfc1349.txt

This used to work in earlier versions of Vim/netrw but I haven't made
the effort to find out when this changed.

Here is the --startuptime difference between the above invocation and an
invocation using -c 'read ...' instead of the VimEnter autocommand. The
second one works just fine.

vim -Nu vimrc_vimenter
