Comment (by joehoyle):

 Fair bit of discussion in Slack over this - I think really the redirect
 doesn't give us anything and causes more harm that good, so could be
 removed. Technically, it's odd to have a resource available at two urls,
 but pragmatically, it's better to just deal with it.

 Also, this is a more general issue with the Location header, we may want
 to make sure we are not redirecting anywhere else, as from what I
 understand, it's going to break with CORS 100% of the time.
