Due to changes to the curl packages that enabled the use of Network Security Services (NSS) by default, urlgrabber may have been unable to retrieve remote data. Consequent to this, an attempt to download repository data using the Yum package manager could fail with the "HTTP 403" status code. This update adapts urlgrabber to retain the compatibility with the curl packages, so that the applications that use this package (including Yum) can retrieve remote data as expected.
