Taking a look at Freefall it appears that there's a local configuration
in the httpd.conf:

httpd.conf:Redirect /handbook/current.html http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current-stable.html#CURRENT
httpd.conf:Redirect /handbook/stable.html http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/current-stable.html#STABLE

There's no RCS file so I don't know who, when or why the change
was made, but I'd suggest that it is wrong, and that the documentation
should do the right thing.  This kind of configuration isn't going
to be mirrored by the web mirror sites.
