Looks good to me. I had that same change queued up in my working copy but I had 
forgotten to commit it.

The way I verify these things is to run "port distfiles rvm". Pick one of the 
upstream URLs from the list that's printed, select (triple-click) and copy 
(Command-C) it. For example in this case since the failing mirror was the 
SourceForge iweb mirror, I would pick that one. Then type "curl -IL ", paste 
the URL you copied, press Return. Verify that the output contains the 200 OK 
status code and a reasonable-looking Content-Length and Content-Type.

I can confirm that the master_sites previously in the port was not delivering 
the correct file (but was instead delivering an HTML file listing the available 
files) but it's unclear why; obviously they used to work. The problem appears 
to be specific to both the iweb mirror and the rvm port; I don't see the same 
problem with other mirrors or other ports.
