  One of the issues is
that Netrw isn't able to download files through http.
To be more precise:

     :e http://host.com/foo

is working fine, while

     :Nread http://host.com/foo

gives an error:

**warning** (netrw) delete(/cygdrive/C/Users/esquifit/AppData/Local/Temp/VIBEFC.tmp) failed!

The current buffer is set to read-only and no content is loaded into it, even if the content has actually been downloaded and available in the above file.

Please try v150m - there's a new setting-variable, g:netrw_cygdrive (default value: "/cygdrive").

g:netrw_http_cmd is set by default to one of the following:

  elinks
  links
  curl
  wget
  fetch

Each is tested in the order given, and the first one that executable("...") returns a 1 on is used. Your problem with g:netrw_http_cmd is, in fact, because executable() is not returning a 1. Look into paths, or manually set the variable.

The Nread http://host.com/foo issue --- well, I'm getting a different problem, so I'll look into it.

I've figured out what my "different problem" was caused by, and am now issuing a new warning. I'd opened the a directory using netrw, then tried using :Nread ... and that was, of course, attempting to read the file into the netrw buffer (which is not modifiable). I don't believe that the problem I just fixed is pertinent to the problem you're having.
