Some trivia for you: /tarball/foo ===> /tarball?name=foo that is a deep-seated internal convention/translation within the library, originally used for wiki pages (/wiki/foo ==> /wiki?name=foo) but it's done at a level far lower than the wiki API, so it happens to all APIs _except_ when running in JSON mode (where i disabled it out because it interferes with JSON-side argument collection).
