eldritch horrors
c83b13eafd
with the api cleaned up we can suddenly reunify uploads, downloads, and
existence checks through curl in the same wrapper function. uploads and
existence checks simply don't use the result source, and given that all
transfers (or at least *most* transfers to date) go through the network
the few extra allocations do not hurt us at all. even for file:// calls
the overhead won't much matter as going to disk and back *is* expensive
