Ouch, and I can't claim that it's lack of coffee...

...the request was bogus, I forgot to replace the
"RFC" in RFC.ietf-ftpext-mlst by "draft-".  With
"I-D" it's more obvious.

In theory your tool could try to "do what I mean":

draft-xxx      try draft-xxx-*.txt
I-D.xxx        try draft-xxx-*.txt
RFC.xxx        try draft-xxx-*.txt
RFCnnnn        as is, ditto BCP, FYI, STD
nnnn           try RFCnnnn.txt
xxx            try draft-xxx-*.txt

But probably that's overkill, only IANA uses the
RFC.xxx convention, and only I messed it up... ;-)
