HTTP 302 recipe download file

[brussee]

Downloading from sourceforge autoselecting an mirror results in a HTTP 302 instead of a direct download.
Trying to build this clean recipe below results in:

RAN: '/bin/tar xzf ~/.local/share/python-for-android/packages/boost/boost_1_58_0.tar.gz'
  STDOUT:
  STDERR:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
/bin/tar: Child returned status 1
/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Because this .tar.gz file is in reality the 302 HTML (ASCII) page.

from pythonforandroid.toolchain import Recipe, shprint, shutil, current_directory
from os.path import exists, join

class BoostRecipe(Recipe):
    version = '1.58.0'
    url = 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/{version}/boost_1_58_0.tar.gz'

recipe = BoostRecipe()

wget is able to download from the given url so perhaps the ChromeDowloader can be replaced with this:?
