+@findex url-handler-mode
+ Emacs also has a minor mode that has some support for handling
+@acronym{URL}s as if they were files. @code{url-handler-mode} is a
+global minor mode that affects most of the Emacs commands and
+primitives that deal with file names. After switching on this mode,
+you can say, for instance, @kbd{C-x C-f https://www.gnu.org/ RET} to
+see the @acronym{HTML} for that web page, and you can then edit it and
+save it to a local file, for instance.
