Comment:

 Thanks. That's obviously an HTML file, not a gzip-compressed diff. So now
 I feel comfortable committing my patch.

 ...except that the download link I put in the patch 6 days ago no longer
 works; it just delivers a file containing the string "Illegal download
 attempt". Searching Google for this, I see that this is part of the Joomla
 extension Remository, which is
 [http://remository.com/forum/func,view/id,8175/catid,8/ specifically
 designed] to give you download links that are only good for a limited
 period of time, and to make it impossible to provide permanent links to
 files. Which makes it not useful for our needs so there's no point in us
 trying to use it.

 I committed my patch in r102700 with a change to download the hpn patch
 from the Google Code mirror I mentioned above.

 If for a future update of this patch we are required to use the Remository
 link because we can find no existing mirrors, we could employ a technique
 like that used by the curl-ca-bundle port to only attempt to use the
 upstream site for a limited time following the commit, and after that use
 only our mirrors.
