Sorry, but that's not true. The source of the https response above
contains
https://csb.codeplex.com/downloads/get/466454
as direct link and it delivers the tarball in question after some
seconds of delay. The line of html code that contains this link also
contains the version number as link content so finally some mangling
should work.
Kind regards
Andreas.
