Comment:
In your URLconf you use the end-of-line character `$`, so the slash must
be the last character of the url. Since the original url
`password/myusername/favicon.ico` does not match, you are redirected to
the same url with a trailing slash. The capturing group then must be
anything between `password/` and the last `/`.
In your CLI example, you omit the `$`, so the `/` does not have to be the
last character, and the regex matches the original url. The capturing
group then matches everything up to the last `/`, which is just
`myusername` in this case.
If you need to match more than just `\w`, you can define a more inclusive
character set, i.e.:
{{{
url(r'^password/(?P<username>[\w+-]+)/$', views.reset_password,
name='password'),
}}}
I don't see any of the relevant code that has changed in 1.8.x releases,
so I suspect that's the whole of the issue. If there is something else
that points at a regression in a 1.8.x. release, please reopen.
