Comment (by Kev):

 Oh, interesting that it had sort of worked before.  On hrev46756, Web+
 launches a Terminal window and tries to download the file, but fails:

 As you asked, I found an HTTP example, http://www.about.com/robots.txt,
 which works fine vis. the OP.  Another example not ending in .txt was
 http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/dreeves/mash/README, which also worked
 fine.  So you're right, it's now an FTP-specific thing but the problem is
 a bit different than the original.
