It seems that sources of `URL*` related features are not initialized properly which leads to problems in many cases.

Please follow those steps to reproduce the problem:

- Let's deploy a test api:

        api = First @ CloudDeploy @ APIFunction[
            {}
          , HTTPResponse["", <|"Content" -> "TEST", "StatusCode" -> 404|>] &
        ]

- Check:

        URLRead[api]

 So far so good

- Copy `api` url string and try

          URLRead["https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/...."]

 Should return 404, nothing unexpected.

- Now `Quit[]` the Kernel and run the manual check again:

          URLRead["https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/...."]

What? I agree that returning 404 this way may not be the best idea but I expect at least consistent results.

What is more interesting, deploy another `api` and run manual test for the **old url**, now it works again...

How to classify this feature? What to call to have stuff initialized/loaded properly?
