Subject: [PATCH] Fix for http-fetch from file:// URLs

Recognize missing files when using http-fetch with file:// URLs

Signed-off-by: Nick Hengeveld <[email-masked]>

By way of explanation, our content distribution clients use a
self-referential file:// URL when fetching updates, and all actual
content servers are listed in http-alternates.  This removes the
dependency on a single external primary server so updates will
continue to work as long as any one server is available.
