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.
