Dynamic/redirection resources
The resource repository server now accepts versions of "LATEST" as a special redirection to the latest version of a resource.
Along with the HTTP standard 307 response, it also includes a X-Target-Resource header. The game needs to be modified to treat further processing as if the filepath is the value herein. In particular, the XML attribute Version will match X-Target-Resource and not "LATEST". The content must also be cached under X-Target-Resource.
Since this opens the door to dynamically changing redirectors, the server will also recognise two custom request headers. If X-Please-
