I also experienced this problem before on Windows, but it works pretty fine on my BSD, mac or Linux box. When I tried it on Windows with the isolated Vim, it failed. I then switched and tried it again under Cygwin on Windows, this time it worked fine. I believe that without installing wget, curl or something similar on the system or environment, you will not be able to open any remote files with Vim. So IMHO, the problem you are encountering is not Vim itself, but the environment you are using.
