^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

revisions) can be browsed using :ref:`swhids`.  Those
identifiers are guaranteed to remain stable (persistent) over time.

    :resheader Location: the redirection URL for browsing the Software Heritage object
        associated to the provided identifier
    :statuscode 302: no error
    :statuscode 400: the provided identifier is malformed
