Sorry - no.

If the server says 404(file not found), we must not ask 'Really?'. If the
mirroring infrastructure is that broken, d.o.o should turn it off.

We can try to work around issues where silent reties make sense. If
ZYPP_MULTICURL fails(!) we already fall back to plain curl. But we can not
distrust everything d.o.o is telling us. Then we must not use it at all.
