Well, afaics most of the other linux command line tools don't support
such stuff, so why should rpm? IOW,
$ strings http://....rpm | less"
doesn't work. But
$ wget -O - http://....rpm | strings | less
does. So
$ wget -O - http://....rpm | rpm -ivh
would match the behavior of other tools (but doesn't work afaics -- that
maybe should be fixed).
