 Here’s the scenario: I’m trying to fetch the latest postgresql update, but
 the first master site url (http://ftp8.us.postgresql.org/postgresql/) does
 not resolve. Since I’m using OpenDNS, the original request is redirected
 to a custom web page and that’s what curl downloads to the disk.
 Obviously, the checksum fails.

 Maybe it could be sensibile to avoid redirects.
