I also first thought that it would be a problem with proxies, but there
isn't. The file itself is fetched from the remote server via
t3lib_div::getUrl (in tx_em_repository_Utility::fetchFile).

It's just the later processing of the *local* xml.z file that is making
troubles for Francois, because the current method makes
XMLReader::open() on a "compress.zlib://.../typo3temp/extensions.xml.Z"
file, while Francois proposes to make a $xmlContent = t3lib::getUrl() on
that first, and *then* pass the (uncompressed) xmlContent to XMLReader.

I have nothing against this, but it might be that it takes more memory
to do so, which should be considered (the uncompressed extensions.xml is
about 24M in size).

Cheers,
Ernesto
