6213	PREPEND_WWW and APPEND_SLASH settings don't work with flatpages middleware	Jason Davies	orthagonal	"The {{{PREPEND_WWW}}} and {{{APPEND_SLASH}}} settings don't force a redirect when {{{FlatpageFallbackMiddleware}}} is being used.

This is because a redirect only happens if the target URL can be resolved using {{{urlresolvers.resolve()}}} in the code.

This behaviour has occurred since the change in [6852].

If the target URL cannot be resolved immediately using {{{urlresolvers.resolve()}}}, perhaps we should check in {{{process_response()}}} to make absolutely sure the response status code will be 404?  If some intermediate middleware, e.g. {{{FlatpageFallbackMiddleware}}} has returned a successful response code, we can then issue a redirect as per the old behaviour."
