IIRC, if you "bzr branch http://" then we do normal GET via http, but we
do smart requests via POST.
If you do "bzr branch bzr+http://" then all VFS activity goes via POST
and smart requests, rather than direct http requests.
See other comments in the past about hosting using MS IIS, and issues
with that.
The good of using this method is that static files (most format files,
etc) can be cached through intermediate proxies, etc. The bad is that if
people have incorrect configurations then they get a bit of garbage.
