My test suites already have tests for the target pages in most cases, and the extra overhead of calling and rendering the second page each time seems like overkill. The general thing I want to test is ""this response redirects to the url with name 'foo'"" rather than ""this response redirects to url /foo and it works"". This would also handle the issue of checking redirects to external sites without having to go hunting for `headers['Location']`.",New feature,closed,Testing framework,dev,Normal,fixed,assertRedirects,,Accepted,1,0,0,0,0,0
