[chef] Re: 404 Net::HTTPServerException: cookbook_file

ok, i get it, and reproduced it.

what's happening is, a chef-client will kick off its run, and while that's
happening, i'll upload an update for that cookbook, for that file
specifically. thus mid-client-run, the url to that file changes out from under
the client.

i.e.

$ knife cookbook show toolbin 0.0.1 | grep -C 3 ec2-chef-ci
    specificity:  default
    url:
    
https://chef.wewp.com/cookbooks/toolbin/0.0.1/files/1d85f0f7cee8fb910e68864eed443d1d
                                                           ^^^ changes
