Maybe it has changed with newer versions of rpm, but that 
was the case some months ago.
I was following some of Johnny Hughes' HowTos (brilliant 
stuff) and the rpm command failed, but i could paste the 
link into a browser and download the rpm, so i dug around a 
bit and did a
#wget -dS [package_url]
to get the debug and headers, and what it showed was a 302 
in the middle of the conversation, so i just assumed that 
rpm was seeing <>200 and aborting.

Anyway ... in the true spirit of nix, wget is the tiny tool 
for getting stuff, and rpm is the tiny tool for managing 
packages, and they each do super jobs.
