Bug#412416: Acknowledgement (rhythmbox: Fails to download podcasts that redirect to query string)

[Paul Kuliniewicz]

Upon further analysis, another culprit may be that the server hosting
the podcast's files doesn't seem to support HEAD queries:

$ HEAD
'http://www.sciam.com/podcast/podcast.mp3?e_id=E1406298-E7F2-99DF-35CEFA91E80F6B4F&ref=p_rss'
405 Method Not Allowed
Connection: close
Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 01:12:03 GMT
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/6.0
Allow: GET, POST
Content-Length: 124
Content-Type: text/html
Client-Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 01:15:17 GMT
Client-Peer: 216.68.232.11:80
Client-Response-Num: 1
X-Cache: MISS from aries.sciam.com

Assuming that the call to gnome_vfs_async_get_file_info issues a HEAD
request, that could also explain the failure to download anything,
before it even tries to handle any 302 redirect.
