Try actually using "file" on the file.  A file extension is by no means 
an indication as to what the file actually is.

eg:

[root@petra root]# echo "I am not an RPM" > myrpm-1.1-1.noarch.rpm
[root@petra root]# rpm -ivh myrpm-1.1-1.noarch.rpm
error: myrpm-1.1-1.noarch.rpm cannot be installed
[root@petra root]# file myrpm-1.1-1.noarch.rpm
myrpm-1.1-1.noarch.rpm: ASCII text

My guess is that you got a 404 page when you downloaded the file, but 
it's html content in a file named foo.rpm.
