After signing the URL when using the S3 backend (or presumably Azure), the call to generate the HTTP redirect re-parses the URL returned, sometimes resulting in characters being encoded as HTML entities or previously-encoded entities being decoded. While S3 is ok with ignoring an altered query string, CloudFront expects the entire URL to match what was signed exactly. This wasn't an issue before I patched django-storages to actually include the parameters passed in to the artifact_file.storage.url() call, but once that patch was applied, query strings were sent back with the URL for content-disposition.

It appears that providing a Yarl URL object to the raise HTTPFound() prevents re-parsing, resulting in the query string being left alone. If the object is created using URL() with encoded=True, that bypasses the reparsing in Yarl, and everyone's much happier. It's also verified to not break regular S3 operation.
