There are many bzr bugs here:

1. The transport UI doesn't provide a direct way to retrieve a URL; one
must open the base url and then request a file.

2. urlutils.split does not preserve trailing slashes. So splitting
http://paste.ubuntu.com/22781/plain/ produces
('http://paste.ubuntu.com/22781', 'plain')

3. The transport API does not preserve trailing slashes:
>>> get_transport('http://paste.ubuntu.com/22781/plain/').get('').read()
bzrlib.errors.RedirectRequested: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22781/plain is
permanently redirected to http://paste.ubuntu.com/22781/plain/
>>> get_transport('http://paste.ubuntu.com/22781/').get('plain/').read()
bzrlib.errors.RedirectRequested: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22781/plain is
permanently redirected to http://paste.ubuntu.com/22781/plain/
