An external special remote might also make a simple http request to a
key/value API to download a key, and follow a redirect to file:///
or http://localhost/.

Tocho Tochev has updated git-annex-remote-pcloud to not follow http
redirects.
TODO Tighten down the gpg decryption to only allow decrypting with
the provided symmetric key, as a further protection against CVE-2018-10859.
If this can be done, then only remotes with encryption=pubkey will
really need to reject WORM and URL keys, since encryption=shared
and encryption=hybrid use a symetric key that's only used to encrypt data
for that remote. Although opening those back up to WORM and URL would
allow the remote sending other content stored on it, to get the wrong
content decrypted. This seems unlikely to be a useful exploit in most
cases, but perhaps not all cases, so probably best to not relax the
rejection aven when doing this. It's still worth doing as a belt and braces
fix.
