The core change here is to fall back to GET requests if HEAD is rejected in the
checkstatus() method, as you can't do a HEAD on Amazon S3 (used by Github
archives). This meant removing the monkey patch that the default method was GET
and adding a fixed redirect handler that doesn't reset to GET.
Also, change the way the opener is constructed from an if/elif cluster to a
conditionally constructed list.
