-----------------------------------------+------------------------
When handling redirects via the method mentioned above, for example via
`client.get(path, follow=True)`, a failure will occur when a response
received somewhere in the chain does not bases `HttpResponseRedirectBase`
from django.http.response because only instances/objects which are derived
from that class have the `url` attribute. The attribute is accessed inside
the function mentioned in the summary to determine where to redirect to.
For example:
a view yields a 308 Code which will be an instance of a plain
`HttpResponse` object instead of a subclass of `HttpResponseRedirectBase`,
thus it does not have a `url` attribute with the url the response is
redirecting to.
I will hand in a patch soon.
