(failing the if on line 196)
I'm taking the time to open this ticket because this wasted me a lot of
time. I had a typo in my `pattern_name`, which resulted in a 410 rather
than an exception (as one would expect).
The documentation only says a 410 will be returned if "the resulting
location is empty, or the url argument is None", but doesn't mention that
it can mask errors.
This design should be reconsidered (per the zen of python, errors should
never pass silently). Or at the very least, documented.
