Trying to :read a remote file on VimEnter results in

     Error detected while processing VimEnter Auto commands for "*":

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

Ah, the moment I sent this message I realized it must be because of the
order in which VimEnter events are executed.

So it has probably never worked and I'm just misremembering. Sorry.


Try defining that autocommand in a global after-plugin. That way, it will be defined after the plugin from netrwPlugin.vim.

Example:
        on Unix:
                ~/.vim/after/plugin/zzwrapup.vim
        on Windows:
        (in Windows terminology)
                %HOME%\vimfiles\after\plugin\zzwrapup\vim
        (in Vim terminology)
                ~/vimfiles/after/plugin/zzwrapup.vim

The filename can be anything; the name I chose (near the end of the alphabet) tries to ensure that this plugin will be sourced not only after the ones in $VIMRUNTIME/plugin, but as the very last one of all global plugins.


Best regards,
Tony.
