It appears to me that remote_get() calls make_remote() that never returns NULL, thus this check will never trigger. At least, the die() message needs to be updated, since remote_get() may return NULL for some reason other than "no configured URL", but the condition the message says is not what this code checks.

It is Ok if the new world order is that the URL does not have to be known before transport_get() is called, but if that is the case, it should be made clear by removing this check from here (and possibly having a new check elsewhere where it really matters, e.g. somewhere in transport code).
