Is it possible to ask vim to update its
.vimrc from an URL, like an FTP address?
With v108c, netrw can source remote files. You can get v108c from my
website:
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW
With vim 7.0 and official patches 1-182, vim will emit an error message
(but works anyway) when sourcing a remote file.
With the same plus the patch to vim's source at
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#SOURCECMD, no error
message gets issued.
The patch at my website provides a new autocmd event: SourceCmd, which
netrw will take advantage of if present.
OK, with all that:
vim -U NONE -c set nocp|so $HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim -c so
scp://HOSTNAME/.vimrc
will
(a) avoid attempting to source in any local .vimrc
(b) source in netrwPlugin.vim from $HOME/.vim/plugin
(c) source in the remote .vimrc via scp, presumably on HOSTNAME.

Rather than -U NONE (i.e., no gvimrc) shouldn't that be -u NORC (i.e., with
small u: don't source $HOME/.vimrc but do source the global plugins)? I
suggest the amended command-line below (with --cmd for early sourcing):
vim -u NORC -N --cmd runtime plugin/netrwPlugin.vim --cmd source
scp://HOSTNAME/.vimrc
Best regards,
Tony.
