20919	assertRedirects without loading the target page	Marc Tamlyn	jcatalan	"It would be nice to have a version/extension of `assertRedirects` which does not require loading the target page with the client. 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
