11921	UnicodeEncodeError when using redirect_to with non-ascii keywords	Ian Lewis	nobody	"I have a urls.py that looks something like

{{{
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.simple',
    url(r'^jp/(?P<tag_name>.+)\;', 'redirect_to', {'url': '/jp/tag/%(tag_name)s'}),
)
}}}

But if the tag_name is non-ascii then I get the following error:

{{{

This may be related to #11522 but as I'm not redirecting to a relative url I wanted to make sure this case was also covered."		closed	Uncategorized	1.1		duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
