### Please describe the problem. Calling "git annex importfeed --relaxed" on a url of a BBC podcast fails just like a "git annex addurl --fast" (and not relaxed) on the url of a show: addurl open.live.bbc.co.uk_mediaselector_5_redir_version_2.0_mediaset_audio_nondrm_download_proto_http_vpid_p02y8kfc.mp3 unable to access url: http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download/proto/http/vpid/p02y8kfc.mp3 failed git-annex: addurl: 1 failed I suppose that is because HEAD on that same URL returns 403 Forbidden (addurl without fast works just fine). "git annex addurl --relaxed" works on the given url. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? I ran into this bug trying to importfeed various BBC podcasts. For instance: $ git annex importfeed --relaxed 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02pc9x6/episodes/downloads.rss' (checking known urls...) importfeed http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02pc9x6/episodes/downloads.rss /tmp/feed3947 100%[=======================================================>] 8,39K --.-KB/s en 0,007s addurl Comedy_of_the_Week/In_and_Out_of_the_Kitchen__Episode_1__The_Supplement.mp3 unable to access url: http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download/proto/http/vpid/p02yy1hn.mp3 failed warning: problem downloading item ok ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex version: 5.20150731-1 on a quite up-to-date debian unstable. > Thanks for a nice test case. [[fixed|done]] --[[Joey]]
