+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.
