Make that ~1.5.  It's not mythbackend, the backend currently does not
have the ability to download like this.  That feature is about a week
or two away and when committed, it will properly handle HTTP redirects.

I believe this is python code doing the downloading of the HTTP URI and
re-uploading to the myth:// URI into a storage group.  When I commit
the backend download code, this will become much simpler, the app will
be able to tell the backend to download URL X into Storage Group Y
without having to download and re-upload.
