Not quite. There, the HEAD reply succeeds, but doesn't tell the file length. Rhythmbox reports a failure, but the file actually does download successfully, and if you edit rhythmdb.xml to change the status code from "failed" to "complete", you can play the podcast. Here, the server replies with an error when you try to issue a HEAD. gnomevfs-info also reports failure: $ gnomevfs-info \ 'http://www.sciam.com/podcast/podcast.mp3?e_id=FBAD66D5-E7F2-99DF-3C650E02F372F1BF&ref=p_rss' Error: Unsupported operation The fix is probably to make Rhythmbox try to download the file even if the HEAD request fails or doesn't report all the information Rhythmbox would like, which would also take care of Gnome#378155 too.
