17.13 support metalink in http headers
Curl has support for downloading a metalink xml file, processing it, and then
downloading the target of the metalink. This is done via the --metalink option.
It would be nice if metalink also supported downloading via metalink
information that is stored in HTTP headers (RFC 6249). Theoretically this could
also be supported with the --metalink option.
See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6249
See also https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2015-06/msg00034.html for
an implematation of this in wget.
