The above example is not promoted as a metalink file :-(
Wget's behaviour is absolutely perfect in this case:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache/2.4.12
Last-Modified: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:50:21 GMT
ETag: "25d4-4d6d18dc2d087"
Content-Type: application/x-iso9660-image
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Date: Sat, 04 Jul 2015 13:47:34 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
Via: 1.1 varnish
Age: 0
Content-Length: 9684
Only if it were a
Content-Type: application/metalink+xml
or
Content-Type: application/metalink4+xml
the target should be automatically loaded... IMO.
Anthony, why does the server promote the file a x-iso9660-image ?
Is it a bug or a feature ?
