In HTTP these are two separate objects. Either URL may change without
notice independent of the other. Even if the source files on disk is
identical at all times HTTP may transfer two non-identical variants
based on negotiated content settings.

To make them the same object in HTTP one of the locations should be a
3xx redirect response pointing at the other source.
