The CGI specification allows for a CGI script to return a 'Location'
header
which refers to a location within the local web server. In Apache this is
honoured when the Status returned by the CGI script is also 200. mod_wsgi
also supports this. See
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=14.
[6164] added the host to all redirects. While this is good for 99.9% of
use cases, this makes these sorts of internal redirects impossible with
django. Would it be reasonable to change fix_location_header to only add
the host if the response code is not 200? Or we could add a variable such
as Response.add_host_to_location that defaults to True that could be used
to control this behavior on a per response basis. I'd be happy to work on
the path for this once I hear back which implementation would be more
likely to be accepted.
