<p>The GET /object/id/version request and the GET /object/id/history request are supposed to behave differently when credentials for a moderator account are supplied; they should include redacted entries in the response (for /history), or allow retrieving redacted versions (for /version).</p>
<p>This used to work when I last tried it, admittedly, years ago.</p>
<p>Now it doesn't:</p>
