invariably gives a "408 Request Time-out". If I run the process

(since it is the first file to be downloaded) and the next file
gives me a 408. If I keep doing this, I'll eventually get all of
the files downloaded.

this thing inside of Apache (yes, the 408 definitely comes from
the redirecting server and not the proxy or the server
redirected to; the 408 is in the access logs). Obviously,
something in the client/proxy is being sent that is tripping
Apache, but I don't know Apache well enough to know how to debug
this kind of thing. Alternatively, could libcurl be getting
tripped up on something?

Enable the rewrite log and check for errors. Read the
mod_rewrite docs if you need help.
I enabled logging (tried at level 1, 2, and 3). The first request
(the working one) shows up fine; the second request, the one that is
failing, never gets logged. It looks like, for whatever reason, the
request is not getting passed to mod_rewrite.
Where can I look next?
Thanks.
