Its *not* that simple. Pagerank (guaging inbound links from other sites) would need to all be coordinated to point to that specifc file. This would be very difficult. PR is the most significant factor in SERPs on most modern engines and if a good inbound link was to point to your base URL (which most will do) its not going to count when the engine realizes it is a 302.
