No, we are where we should have always been:

    > GET /file/latest HTTP/1.1
    < HTTP/1.1 302 Found
    < Location /path/to/real/file/hash.tar.gz

Sure... but their CDN is caching the results for /file/latest, so they'd either have to handle cache expiry differently or the same bug would happen.

Per RFC 2616:

> This response is only cacheable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header field.
