I scouted around a little before I used the URL. The first two update
mirror sites I looked at both had the "headers" directory so I gave
the it a shot with them listed in the sources configuration file and
they worked fine. I suppose just pick the one with the headers
directory that suits you best. Give it a --dry-run if you feel too
light-headed from the cake.
