[Bug 1351889] Re: Provide an option to do reverse of what pastebinit does. Pastebin URL to file

[Rolf Leggewie]

I think that would be a maintenance nightmare if I understand your
request correctly, and for very little gain.

I don't see how this information can be easily and consistently parsed
from the information that is available via http.  As such, pastebinit
devs would need to generate and keep up-to-date a list of mappings
between pastebin+pastebinid to raw-URL.  I don't think that will happen,
but this is your last chance to argue your case for this feature before
I intend to close as wontfix.
