Problem:
Nvim depends on netrw to download/request URL contents.
Solution:
- Add `vim.net.request()` as a thin curl wrapper:
- Basic GET with --silent, --show-error, --fail, --location, --retry
- Optional `opts.outpath` to save to a file
- Operates asynchronously. Pass an `on_response` handler to get the result.
- Add integ tests (requires NVIM_TEST_INTEG to be set) to test success
and 404 failure.
- Health check for missing `curl`.
- Handle `:edit https://…` using `vim.net.request()`.
API Usage:
1. Asynchronous request:
vim.net.request('https://httpbingo.org/get', { retry = 2 }, function(err, response)
if err then
print('Fetch failed:', err)
else
print('Got body of length:', #response.body)
end
end)
2. Download to file:
vim.net.request('https://httpbingo.org/get', { outpath = 'out_async.txt' }, function(err)
if err then print('Error:', err) end
end)
3. Remote :edit integration (in runtime/plugin/net.lua) fetches into buffer:
:edit https://httpbingo.org/get
Problem:
Bad format() call on PUC Lua #34901
Error: Failed to run healthcheck for "vim.health" plugin. Exception:
runtime/lua/vim/health/health.lua:89: bad argument #1 to 'format' (string expected, got nil)
Solution:
Avoid passing nil.
Problem:
:checkhealth shows a confusing message if user sets
g:loaded_python3_provider=1.
Solution:
- Show a warning if that var is set to 1.
- Update provider modules to default to 0. Any user code that is
checking for 1, is like already broken because these may be set to 2.

fix#29302
The namespacing for healthchecks for neovim modules is inconsistent and
confusing. The completion for `:checkhealth` with `--clean` gives
```
nvim
provider.clipboard
provider.node
provider.perl
provider.python
provider.ruby
vim.lsp
vim.treesitter
```
There are now three top-level module names for nvim: `nvim`, `provider`
and `vim` with no signs of stopping. The `nvim` name is especially
confusing as it does not contain all neovim checkhealths, which makes it
almost a decoy healthcheck.
The confusion only worsens if you add plugins to the mix:
```
lazy
mason
nvim
nvim-treesitter
provider.clipboard
provider.node
provider.perl
provider.python
provider.ruby
telescope
vim.lsp
vim.treesitter
```
Another problem with the current approach is that it's not easy to run
nvim-only healthchecks since they don't share the same namespace. The
current approach would be to run `:che nvim vim.* provider.*` and would
also require the user to know these are the neovim modules.
Instead, use this alternative structure:
```
vim.health
vim.lsp
vim.provider.clipboard
vim.provider.node
vim.provider.perl
vim.provider.python
vim.provider.ruby
vim.treesitter
```
and
```
lazy
mason
nvim-treesitter
telescope
vim.health
vim.lsp
vim.provider.clipboard
vim.provider.node
vim.provider.perl
vim.provider.python
vim.provider.ruby
vim.treesitter
```
Now, the entries are properly sorted and running nvim-only healthchecks
requires running only `:che vim.*`.
