Currently, the URL for a block or manifest includes the file version and manifest/block version. However, if a file was truncated, or if it gets unlinked/creat'ed, its version will have changed. The http-common module can't tell whether or not to redirect to the latest version or fail with 404 unless it also knows whether or not the requester also has the path's latest file ID.
