Comment 11 for bug 1655431

That is a problem on sourceforge:

E: Failed to fetch https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/andale32.exe Redirection from https to 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mirrorproblem?failedmirror=netix.dl.sourceforge.net' is forbidden

We send it a valid https request, indicating that we already have 198384 bytes (the complete file)

> GET /project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/andale32.exe HTTP/1.1
Host: netix.dl.sourceforge.net
User-Agent: Debian APT-CURL/1.0 (1.4~beta2)

It answers it has found the file at another location, but redirects to an unencrypted mirror problem URL:

< HTTP/1.1 302 Found

There was another issue with "invalid content-range" - I'm working on that. But that one can easily be resolved on the redirector as well. It makes no sense for the server to respond with "Content-Range: */<file size>" (basically meaning: Oh, I can't satisfy that range) on a redirect.
