I get the error ⌜This function requires Emacs to be compiled with libxml2⌝.

IOW, I can't read.

In my defense, ⌜/home/test/test.html⌝ produced the error ⌜/80 Name or service not known⌝, and ⌜file://home/test/test.html⌝ produced an FTP buffer with the error ⌜home: No address associated with hostname⌝, so by the time I tried ⌜file:///home/test/test.html⌝ and the debugger popped up yet again, I assumed the error was just another complaint about my syntax.

Sorry for the mistaken bug report.
