This is a known issue with rpm's http code. It doesn't do cookies. It can't really follow redirects (302 or otherwise) well, and generally it's a hack.
Ah, well, now I understand. Yes, there occurs a redirect. It once used to work, with apt.sw.be, which obviously wasn't a redirect. Thanks, it's the first time I've seen this, I think. Or at least so long ago that I forgot about the last one.
