### Please describe the problem.
`addurl` doesn't support the internet archive:
1. it doesn't actually accept the proper URL as a secondary source of content
2. it doesn't parse the HTML from the video page (the "details page")
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
# download eben moglen's excellent re:publica presentation from youtube
git annex addurl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKOk4Y4inVY
# copy that file aside
cp -L re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm-bak
# drop it so we can try again
git annex drop re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm
# add the IA URL for the same video, failing
git annex addurl --file=re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm http://ia601009.us.archive.org/9/items/Republica2012-EbenMoglen-FreedomOfThoughtRequiresFreeMedia/re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm
# try again with --relaxed to skip some checks
git annex addurl --relaxed --file=re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm http://ia601009.us.archive.org/9/items/Republica2012-EbenMoglen-FreedomOfThoughtRequiresFreeMedia/re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm
# observe both files are the same size and checksum
The files should look like this:
[[!format txt """
anarcat@angela:presentations$ ls -alL re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm*
-r--r--r-- 1 anarcat anarcat 419359123 oct 9 23:41 re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm
-r--r--r-- 1 anarcat anarcat 419359123 oct 11 19:40 re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm-bak
anarcat@angela:presentations$ md5sum re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm*

There are two separate bugs here: one is the above need to use --relaxed even though the file is the same.
The second is probably simply that quvi doesn't support the internet archive, and maybe that one should be moved to a separate [[todo]]/[[wishlist]]. I was expecting this to "do the right thing" (ie. download the video):
git annex addurl http://archive.org/details/Republica2012-EbenMoglen-FreedomOfThoughtRequiresFreeMedia
... but instead it downloads the HTML.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
my good old faithful `4.20130921-g434dc22` i compiled manually some time ago. :)
This is [[done]] in git-annex version: 4.20131011-g2c0badc. Thanks!
### Please provide any additional information below.
