provide permalinks to confluence attachments

XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      It seems that the links to confluence attachments are not permalinks (stabe links).

      Example:

      https://example.com/download/attachments/116065791/file.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1361208962871&api=v2

      Instead they should be like

      https://example.com/download/attachments/116065791/file.pdf

      And obviously, uploading a new version of an attachment should not change its permalink.

      That's an essential feature for any HTML application. By not conforming with this Confluence is breaking HTTP standards and making indexing and search much harder.

      Also, the same design flaw does break lots of links from other web applications (when the attachment is updated).
