In this case, it has a Content-Type of text.html. In addition, it has
an HTML DOCTYPE and the root element is <html>. All are indications
that this is HTML and not a metadata file.
Yum doesn't really need to handle arbitrary content. I was thinking
about a special escape for HTML files would make sense because some
misconfigured web servers give back a page for not found instead of
the proper error code.
