Hi Django Developers, I'd like to discuss a change to the Django test client to enable customizing the list of status codes that are considered as redirectable when a GET request is made with `follow=True` (see docs in [1]).
Specifically, I suggest moving the `redirect_status_codes` property in the `_handle_redirects` method (see code in [2]) from a local variable to a class-level variable so that subclasses of the test client can override the collection to inject additional status codes on which to redirect. This change will for example enable easy testing of APIs that use HTTP 202 to indicate asynchronous creation of entities as described in [3]. This is my first time reaching out to the mailing list. What do you think about this proposal? I'd be thrilled to submit a Trac ticket and pull request for this. Thanks for your time and looking forward to hearing from you.
