Storage drivers can implement a method called URLFor which can return a direct
url for a given path. The functionality allows the registry to direct clients
to download content directly from the backend storage. This is commonly used
with s3 and cloudfront. Under certain conditions, such as when the registry is
not local to the backend, these redirects can hurt performance and waste
incoming bandwidth on pulls. This feature addition allows one to disable this
feature, if required.
