I know because I/ve used it for net installs twice in the last

I agreee that it would be nice to have some better doc on how to
choose the URL for a net install, I've stumbled around in the dark
at times past trying to figure it out, too.
but it definitely DOES work if you get the URL right (and if you have
your networking set up correctly, and the mirror isn't broken, and...,
and..., etc.).

After setting up again another the next morning (yesterday), mit didn't
work either. The networking was set up alright-- the third time
setting up everything for the third time, and, after all, the
configuration page confirmed networking. What could be wrong? Well, I
went back into the networking config page and saw it was actually all
wrong. It didn't for some reason didn't even change the configuration
I put in even after clicking on "Done" (several times). Apparently,
'networking connection' to this setup page must have understood to that
to mean only TCP/IP level 2 connection to the AP... yes, it could talk
to the AP, but not make an actual to the network. At this point I
couldn't trust netinstall anymore, wiped it, and yesterday burned and
loaded and installed a LiveCD.
Days ago, when wrestling with repos setting up, it occurred to me it
would be nice for the app to have a small console in it, something which
could be used to confirm (by hand) networking was correct and that URLs
were there and active... it would be simple. Apparently it's a bad idea
for some reason to make any improvements over what comes from upstream.
(Sigh.)
Thanks, Fred, for the tip. I'll augment your tip: don't believe it when
the netinstall configuration says it's (allegedly) correctly configured.
