Ok, problem solved. The file was successfully being downloaded by
netrw. The problem is that Vim was then garbling the XML that was being
downloaded. In my .vimrc, I have the following line:
au FileType xml exe ":silent 1,$!tidy -q -i -xml 2>/dev/null"
Since I just moved my /home partition to a new Linux distribution, I had
yet to install tidy, so Vim was choking on this line when I tried to
open XML files. The problem is that since the errout of the command was
being redirected to /dev/null, I never saw an error message. I just saw
a blank screen that I assumed was an empty file.
I threfore got rid of the errout redirect so that I would actually see
the tidy errors now. This introduces a few other problems, but I'll
open another thread if I can't fix them.
Thanks again!
