Mac Trivia: Zero Byte resource error

You can probably skip this post. I wanted to blog it to help people with this problem solve it faster. It involves the Mac System update tool throwing up a dialog that says:

A networking error has occurred: zero byte resource (-1014). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.

[Update, 20 Aug, 2005. I just realized that this was double posted, and I had corrected another version, at http://www.emergentchaos.com/archives/00565.html. The answer to this problem, best as I can get it, is there. I leave this up in case people linked to it.
