+### Please describe the problem.
+
+i try to load add a URL to git (for later download) which is behind a CDN.
+> git-annex addurl  https://cdn.media.ccc.de/congress/2018/h264-sd/35c3-9462-eng-deu-fra-What_The_Fax_sd.mp4
+
+it tells me:
+
+> addurl cdn.media.ccc.de_congress_2018_h264_sd_35c3_9462_eng_deu_fra_What_The_Fax_sd.mp4 (downloading https://cdn.media.ccc.de/congress/2018/h264-sd/35c3-9462-eng-deu-fra-What_The_Fax_sd.mp4 ...) 
+> Configuration does not allow accessing https://cdn.media.ccc.de/congress/2018/h264-sd/35c3-9462-eng-deu-fra-What_The_Fax_sd.mp4
+failed
+> git-annex: addurl: 1 failed
+
+looking around, I find that curl itself does also not load the file. wget does out-of-the-box 
+hint: curl -L "--location" seems to work, as this follows the http 30x
+
+--> how to fix this ?
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
