Comment:

 At the moment we are using a rewrite rule for to serve downloads from
 dist. So that 404 page is served actually from dist. Maybe we shouldn't
 solve this issue with a rewrite rule in .htaccess, instead we should
 handle the request on apache config. If the request goes through we serve
 it w the redirect to the file, if it fails w/ a 404 we serve the 404 page
 instead.

 Would that work?
