I am having problem on installing MYSQL using homebrew

My system info are as follows. Fresh Install of

MAC OSX 10.7.4
RUBY 1.9.3-p125
XCODE 4.3.3

when I issue the command > brew install mysql
I get the following errors

DBSVR1:~ icareadmin$ brew install mysql

NOTE: I have omitted all the hyperlinks on my error since i am a new user here and I cannot post multiple hyperlinks.

As you can see i am getting something like this

curl: (52) Empty reply from server

when brew is trying to download readline-6.2.tar.gz from the ftpmirror.

is it possible for me to download manually those patches and let brew to recognize it when I install it again? If yes, where should I put all those files?

Thanks in advance

    As my further reading on the issue, found out that this is not mysql issue. It is somewhere on the installation / downloading part of readline from http://ftp.gnu.org

    found myself a solution by changing link from the readline formula under /usr/local/Library/Formula/ with a working link (cannot post link, me so newbie here). After finding out the solution, this work around was backed up on this link. As far as I know this is still a painful issue on readline brew.

    HTH.
